How employment works in France
The Code du travail and sector collective agreements (conventions collectives) set most terms. Cadre and non-cadre status changes contributions and notice. The 35-hour week applies, with overtime or RTT days above that. Terminations require a formal procedure with a preliminary meeting.
Summaries are kept current by Ubique's local legal team and partners. They are general information, not legal advice. Last reviewed September 2026.
