Working Conditions

Legal Weekly Duration
The Law allows for a duration of 40 hours per week and 8 hours per day. The daily working time may not exceed 10 hours.
Retirement Age
65
Working Contracts
Employment contracts are regulated by law. Collective agreements and individual negotiations complement it.
The terms of the employment contracts are very rigid.

A work contract is either signed for an indeterminate period (Contrat à Durée Indéterminée/ CDI), which it is most often the case, or for a fixed term (Contrat à Durée Déterminée/ CDD). The CDD cannot last more than 24 months, including renewals. It can only be renewed twice and only if the initial contract includes a renewal clause. The Law strictly defines the framework of using a fixed-term contract. It is contracted for the accomplishment of precise and temporary tasks in a company.
