Article L3121-30 of the French Labour Code

Overtime may be worked up to an annual quota. Hours worked in excess of this annual quota give entitlement to compulsory time off in lieu.

The hours taken into account for the calculation of the annual overtime quota are those worked in excess of the legal time limit.

Overtime giving entitlement to the equivalent compensatory rest referred to in article L. 3121-28 and overtime worked in cases of urgent work listed in article L. 3132-4 do not count against the annual overtime quota.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L3121-30

Des heures supplémentaires peuvent être accomplies dans la limite d’un contingent annuel. Les heures effectuées au delà de ce contingent annuel ouvrent droit à une contrepartie obligatoire sous forme de repos.

Les heures prises en compte pour le calcul du contingent annuel d’heures supplémentaires sont celles accomplies au delà de la durée légale.

Les heures supplémentaires ouvrant droit au repos compensateur équivalent mentionné à l’article L. 3121-28 et celles accomplies dans les cas de travaux urgents énumérés à l’article L. 3132-4 ne s’imputent pas sur le contingent annuel d’heures supplémentaires.
