Article L3142-85 of the French Labour Code

The provisions of article L. 3142-84 do not apply when the term of office has been renewed, unless the duration of the suspension provided for in article L. 3142-83 was, for whatever reason, less than five years.

These provisions do not apply either when the employee member of the National Assembly or the Senate is elected in the other of these two assemblies.

Upon expiry of the renewed term(s) of office, the employee may, however, apply for re-employment under conditions determined by regulation.

The employee is then given priority for re-employment for a period of one year in the jobs to which his or her qualifications entitle him or her. In the event of re-employment, the employer shall grant the employee all the benefits he had acquired at the time of his departure.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L3142-85

Les dispositions de l’article L. 3142-84 ne sont pas applicables lorsque le mandat a été renouvelé, sauf si la durée de la suspension prévue à l’article L. 3142-83 a été, pour quelque cause que ce soit, inférieure à cinq ans.

Ces dispositions ne s’appliquent pas non plus lorsque le salarié membre de l’Assemblée nationale ou du Sénat est élu dans l’autre de ces deux assemblées.

A l’expiration du ou des mandats renouvelés, le salarié peut cependant solliciter sa réembauche dans des conditions déterminées par voie réglementaire.

Le salarié bénéficie alors pendant un an d’une priorité de réembauche dans les emplois auxquels sa qualification lui permet de prétendre. En cas de réemploi, l’employeur lui accorde le bénéfice de tous les avantages qu’il avait acquis au moment de son départ.
