Description
The national body in charge of collecting social security contributions (ACOSS) has agreed with the State to reduce its workforce by about 700 positions by 2017 through non-replacement of retirees. ACOSS will replace 50% of the 1400 departures through retirement by 2017. This means that it will recruit 700 employees within this period and will not replace 700 other departing employees. For the government the job cuts are part of a plan to reduce social security expenses by about 1.2 billion euro by 2017. Job cuts through non-replacement of retiring staff have also been agreed in the National health insurance system (Caisse nationale d'assurance maladie) and are expected in the National pension system (Caisse nationale d'assurance vieillesse).
