The right to compulsory time off in lieu is deemed to have arisen as soon as the duration of this time off, calculated in accordance with article L. 3121-38, reaches seven hours. The day or half-day during which the rest is taken is deducted from the entitlement to rest in respect of the number of hours that the employee would have worked during that day or half-day.
Compulsory time off in lieu is taken within a maximum period of two months following entitlement, subject to the provisions of articles D. 3121-21 and D. 3121-22.
