Any company may apply a company savings scheme concluded at branch level, provided that the branch agreement has been approved pursuant to article L. 3345-4.
Companies wishing to apply the approved branch agreement must conclude an agreement to this effect under the conditions set out in articles L. 3332-3 and L. 3332-4.
Companies with fewer than fifty employees may opt to apply this scheme by means of a unilateral document signed by the employer, under the conditions provided for in article L. 2232-10-1, if the industry agreement provides for this possibility and proposes, in the form of a standard agreement indicating the various choices left to the employer, specific stipulations for these companies.
The company agreement concluded or the unilateral adherence document signed is filed in accordance with the procedures laid down in article L. 3332-9.
By way of derogation from articles L. 3345-2 and L. 3345-3, the exemptions provided for in article L. 3332-27 are deemed to be acquired as soon as the agreement is filed and for the duration of the agreement or the document of adherence to the approved branch agreement.
