Article D6325-19 of the French Labour Code

In the event of suspension of the employment contract with total or partial retention of the employee’s gross monthly remuneration, the number of paid hours taken into account for the calculation of the exemptions provided for in articles L. 6325-16 and L. 6325-17 is equal to the product of the working hours that the employee would have worked if he had continued to work and the percentage of remuneration remaining payable by the employer and subject to contributions.
This number of hours paid may not exceed, for the calendar month in question, the legal working time calculated over the month or, where this is less, the contractual working time applicable in the establishment.

Article D6325-19


En cas de suspension du contrat de travail avec maintien total ou partiel de la rémunération mensuelle brute du salarié, le nombre d’heures rémunérées pris en compte pour le calcul des exonérations prévues aux articles L. 6325-16 et L. 6325-17 est égal au produit de la durée de travail que le salarié aurait accomplie s’il avait continué à travailler et du pourcentage de la rémunération demeuré à la charge de l’employeur et soumis à cotisation.
Ce nombre d’heures rémunérées ne peut excéder, au titre du mois civil considéré, la durée légale du travail calculée sur le mois, ou, lorsqu’elle est inférieure, la durée conventionnelle applicable dans l’établissement.
