Article L1234-8 of the French Labour Code

Circumstances leading to the suspension of the employment contract, either by virtue of legal provisions, a collective labour agreement or contractual stipulations, or customary practice, do not affect the employee’s seniority as assessed for the purposes of determining the period of notice provided for in 2° and 3° of article L. 1234-1.

However, the period of suspension is not taken into account when determining the length of seniority required to benefit from these provisions.

Article L1234-8

Les circonstances entraînant la suspension du contrat de travail, en vertu soit de dispositions légales, soit d’une convention ou d’un accord collectif de travail, soit de stipulations contractuelles, soit d’usages, ne rompent pas l’ancienneté du salarié appréciée pour la détermination de la durée du préavis prévue aux 2° et 3° de l’article L. 1234-1.

Toutefois, la période de suspension n’entre pas en compte pour la détermination de la durée d’ancienneté exigée pour bénéficier de ces dispositions.
