When an employee who has entered into a fixed-term contract in days and who has reached the age stipulated in the first paragraph of article L. 161-22-1-5 of the Social Security Code requests to work reduced hours in relation to the maximum legal or contractual working time expressed in days, he shall send his request, under conditions set by decree, to the employer. In the absence of a written and reasoned response within two months of receipt of the request, the employer’s agreement is deemed to have been obtained.
The employer’s refusal is justified by the incompatibility of the working hours requested by the employee with the economic activity of the company.
