Replacement of an employee temporarily transitioning to part-time work (parental leave for training, part-time for setting up or taking over a business, etc.) Why use the part-time employment contract, what are the mandatory information and clauses to insert? What are the advantages and disadvantages? An employee hired on a fixed-term contract is taken into account in the calculation of the company`s workforce in relation to his time spent in the company over the last 12 months, unless he replaces an absent employee. It should be noted that, according to the opinion of the Court of Cassation (judgment of 9 October 2013), the reclassification of a fixed-term employment contract into a contract of indefinite duration concerns only the end of the contract and leaves unchanged the contractual provisions relating to working hours. Since the fixed-term contract therefore relates to working time and working time, it therefore satisfies the conditions laid down in Article L. 3123-14 of the Labour Code, there is no reason to believe that, apart from its reclassification as an employment contract of indefinite duration, it must be transformed into a full-time contract. The employer must also provide for a daily rest period of at least 11 hours (Article L. 3131-1) and may not, under any circumstances, allow a worker to work more than 6 consecutive hours without granting a rest period of at least 20 minutes (Article L. 3121-33). The Court of Cassation recalls that «as soon as the daily working time reaches 6 hours, the employee benefits from a break of at least 20 minutes» (Cass. Soc. 20 Feb. 2013, No. 11-21.599 ) The declaration of the weekly©working time is mandatory if the employee© works part-time. It is quite possible to conclude a fixed-term part-time contract.
The specificity of working hours must be mentioned in the fixed-term contract, which constitutes the legal framework for the employee`s activity. By definition, fixed-term contracts are not intended for a longer term. Therefore, a maximum duration may be fixed by an agreement or an inter-trade agreement. In the case of short-term employment contracts, i.e. less than 6 months, the duration of the trial period is proportional to that of the contract. In addition, the end of the probationary period must take place within a certain period. In most cases, the end date of the fixed-term contract between the employer and the employee is concluded as soon as it is signed. In most cases, the duration of a fixed-term contract cannot exceed 18 months.
This period is reduced to 9 months in the event of termination of a fixed-term contract until an employee takes a job with an employment contract of indefinite duration or urgent security work. It is extended to 24 months in the case of a foreign mission or an exceptional export order. The fixed-term contract (CDD) is a fixed-term contract. Its closure and rupture are subject to precise rules. At present, a fixed-term contract can be renewed twice, but the total duration of these contracts cannot exceed the limits described above, i.e. a 9-month fixed-term contract can be extended, but not an 18-month fixed-term contract. For a long time, fixed-term contracts could only be renewed once. The maximum duration of a fixed-term contract and the number of renewals may differ from the above limits in case of agreement at professional level. Part-time work consists of working fewer hours than those provided for by law or convention in the company. The duration of part-time work is between 24 hours per week and the duration worked in the enterprise. The transition to part-time work must have been the subject of an amendment to the employment contract or a written exchange between the employee and the employer. A fixed-term contract of indefinite duration is a fixed-term contract that is not limited by a predetermined end date, but by the occurrence of an undefined event.
Typically, this is the example of fixed-term contracts to replace an employee on sick leave, the end of which is not necessarily known. Attention: Fixed-term contracts with vague terms are very specific. ⚠️ However, if the end date of the fixed-term contract is uncertain, it is explained in advance that the contract is limited in time depending on the occurrence of a particular event. Under no circumstances can the fixed-term contract be installed on a long-term basis. If you want to build a longer relationship with an employee, you need to turn to the permanent contract! A collective agreement or an inter-professional agreement may specify the maximum number of possible renewals of the fixed-term contract. The worker who occupies several positions must also respect this maximum permissible period: after all, it is forbidden to let a worker work more than six days a week, a weekly rest of 24 hours must be granted on Sundays «in the interest of the workers» (Article L 3132-1).

☝️ Good to know: During the trial period with a fixed-term contract, the employee is paid under normal conditions according to his employment contract. Collective or contractual agreements may derogate from this rule for activities characterised by the need to ensure continuity of service or by shared periods of intervention (Article L. 3131-2). In addition to the legal duration of 35 hours per week, there is a maximum working time that an employer may not exceed (Article L. 8261-1 of the Labour Code). No specific formalism is required.
