Article L1251-41 of the French Labour Code

When an application is made to the industrial tribunal to have an assignment contract reclassified as an open-ended employment contract, the case is referred directly to the tribunal, which will rule on the merits of the case within one month of the case being referred to it.

If the industrial tribunal upholds the employee’s claim, it will award him compensation, payable by the user company, which may not be less than one month’s salary. This provision applies without prejudice to the application of the provisions of Title III of this book relating to the rules governing the termination of open-ended employment contracts.

Article L1251-41

Lorsque le conseil de prud’hommes est saisi d’une demande de requalification d’un contrat de mission en contrat de travail à durée indéterminée, l’affaire est directement portée devant le bureau de jugement qui statue au fond dans le délai d’un mois suivant sa saisine.

Si le conseil de prud’hommes fait droit à la demande du salarié, il lui accorde une indemnité, à la charge de l’entreprise utilisatrice, ne pouvant être inférieure à un mois de salaire. Cette disposition s’applique sans préjudice de l’application des dispositions du titre III du présent livre relatives aux règles de rupture du contrat de travail à durée indéterminée.
