An employee benefiting from representation leave who suffers a reduction in remuneration as a result receives an allowance from the State or the local authority to compensate, in full or in part, where appropriate in the form of a lump sum, for the reduction in remuneration.
The employer may decide to maintain all or part of this remuneration, over and above the compensatory allowance. In this case, the sums paid may be subject to a tax deduction under the conditions set out inarticle 238 bis of the General Tax Code.
