Rémunération d'un fonctionnaire [...] 2, record 3, French, - traitement
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Apanage des fonctionnaires, ce mode de rémunération [le traitement] est établi en général sur une base annuelle. Mais ce mot [...] s'est engagé sur la piste de l'évolution. Le fait que le traitement soit calculé annuellement dissocie quelque peu la rémunération du travail produit. De là, à juger le mot «traitement» plus prestigieux que le mot «salaire», il n'y avait qu'un pas que notre époque avare de litotes s'est empressée de franchir. Pour tout emploi d'une certaine importance sociale, on touche aujourd'hui un «traitement», même en dehors des cadres de la fonction publique. On peut donc parler du traitement d'un PDG [président-directeur général], d'un ministre ou du président de la Bourse. 3, record 3, French, - traitement
