An employee whose employment contract is suspended for a personal reason beyond his control and for a relatively insignificant period is entitled to continue to receive his salary.

However, during the suspension of the contract, the indemnities paid by a compulsory social insurance scheme are deducted from the amount of remuneration due by the employer.
