Social security pays sick leave to employees from the fourth day of their absence onwards. All employees who are paid monthly and have completed at least three months with their employer can receive payments of a portion of their salary for up to 90 days. Additional contributions by employers are stipulated in collective agreements. Medical certificates must be presented within 48 hours of sick leave commencing.
Maternity leave is 16 weeks, six before the due date and the remainder after the birth. If the baby is the mother's third child, maternity leave can be extended to 26 weeks. Further extensions pertain in the case of twins (34 weeks) or triplets/more (46 weeks). If the mother is unwell, maternity leave can be further extended by six weeks (two before birth and four after). Employees affiliated with social security for at least ten weeks prior to the due date and who have worked at least 150 hours in the 90 days before maternity leave commences are entitled to paid maternity leave. The level of pay is based on the employee's average salary in the three months before the leave starts.
Paid paternity leave is 28 days plus the first week immediately after the birth. The first three days are paid by the employer, with social security paying for the subsequent days.
Options for contract termination include resignation, redundancy, and mutual agreement, each of which comes with different procedures that must be followed.
Notice periods are determined by length of service and seniority:
The amount of severance pay due in France varies depending on factors including the reason for termination, the employee's role, and the terms of the contract/any relevant collective agreements. Typically, a monthly salary is paid based on previous average earnings.
Probation periods typically differ depending on the job role, with blue-collar workers doing two months' probation, supervisors and technicians three months, and managers four months. During probation, only five days' notice from either party is required to end the contract.
