Article L3141-29 of the French Labour Code

If, when his employment contract is terminated, an employee, as a result of the order in which leave is to be taken, has taken leave giving rise to holiday pay in an amount greater than that to which he was entitled at the time of termination, he shall reimburse the employer for the overpayment.

Reimbursement is not due if the employee’s termination of the employment contract is due to gross negligence on the part of the employer.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L3141-29

Lorsque, à l’occasion de la rupture de son contrat de travail, un salarié, par suite de l’ordre fixé pour les départs en congé, a pris un congé donnant lieu à une indemnité de congé d’un montant supérieur à celle à laquelle il avait droit au moment de la rupture, il rembourse le trop-perçu à l’employeur.

Le remboursement n’est pas dû si la rupture du contrat de travail par le salarié est provoquée par une faute lourde de l’employeur.
