Article L3252-5 of the French Labour Code

Direct debit of the current monthly instalment and the last six months’ unpaid maintenance payments, or the last twenty-four months’ unpaid maintenance payments when the body responsible for paying family benefits is acting on behalf of the creditor, may be pursued against the entire remuneration. It is first deducted from the unattachable portion and, if applicable, from the attachable portion.

However, in all cases, a sum is left at the employee’s disposal under conditions determined by decree of the Conseil d’Etat.

Article L3252-5

Le prélèvement direct du terme mensuel courant et des six derniers mois impayés des pensions alimentaires ou des vingt-quatre derniers mois lorsque l’organisme débiteur des prestations familiales agit pour le compte du créancier peut être poursuivi sur l’intégralité de la rémunération. Il est d’abord imputé sur la fraction insaisissable et, s’il y a lieu, sur la fraction saisissable.

Toutefois, une somme est, dans tous les cas, laissée à la disposition du salarié dans des conditions déterminées par décret en Conseil d’Etat.
