Monetarisation of the CPF

Understand everything about the evolution of the CPF

Since January 1st, 2019, the legislation "for the freedom to choose one's professional future" has been in force. From now on, employees have a financial package to train, develop professionally or switch jobs.

As a result, all training hours acquired on December 31st, 2018 under the CPF and the DIF (individual right to training) have been converted into euros and each hour of training is valued at €15 (amount set by Decree No 2018-1153 of December 14, 2018).

Understand the conversion of existing hours

As an example:

  • A full-time employee who had accumulated 120 DIF* hours as of December 31, 2014 and who has never used them now has €1,800 available
  • To this amount will be added the 72 (maximum) hours of CPF collected since 2015 and the 24 hours acquired for the year 2018;
  • In total, if they never used their training hours (DIF and CPF), they will have €3,240** to train.

* Maximum number of DIF hours that can be accumulated

**Amount credited from April 2019 onwards

Warning!

The rights acquired under the DIF may only be used until 31 December 2020. If they are not mobilised before this deadline, the rights linked to the DIF will be lost!
