Article L2145-11 of the French Labour Code

Leave for economic, social and environmental training and trade union training is granted as a matter of right, except where the employer considers, after obtaining the opinion of the social and economic committee, that such absence could have harmful consequences for production and the smooth running of the company.

Reasons must be given for any refusal of leave by the employer.

In the event of a dispute, the employer’s refusal may be challenged directly before the labour tribunal under conditions laid down by decree of the Conseil d’Etat.

Article L2145-11

Le congé de formation économique, sociale et environnementale et de formation syndicale est de droit, sauf dans le cas où l’employeur estime, après avis conforme du comité social et économique, que cette absence pourrait avoir des conséquences préjudiciables à la production et à la bonne marche de l’entreprise.

Le refus du congé par l’employeur est motivé.

En cas de différend, le refus de l’employeur peut être directement contesté devant le bureau de jugement du conseil de prud’hommes dans des conditions fixées par décret en Conseil d’Etat.
