Natural persons guilty of an offence under this Title are liable to the additional penalty of temporary or permanent disqualification from the profession of tobacconist.

In the event of prohibition from practising the profession as provided for in the previous paragraph or in the event of closure of an establishment as provided for in article L. 3355-4, the period during which the convicted persons must continue to pay their staff the salaries, allowances and remuneration of any kind to which they were previously entitled is set by the court.

In the case of staff paid in whole or in part by tips, the court shall assess the amount of the tips by reference in particular to the rules laid down for calculating social security contributions.

Article L3355-6

Les personnes physiques coupables d’une infraction prévue au présent titre encourent la peine complémentaire d’interdiction d’exercice de la profession de débitant à titre temporaire ou définitif.

En cas d’interdiction d’exercice de la profession prévue à l’alinéa précédent ou en cas de fermeture d’établissement prévue par l’article L. 3355-4, la durée pendant laquelle les personnes condamnées doivent continuer à payer à leur personnel les salaires, indemnités et rémunération de toute nature auxquels il avait droit jusqu’alors, est fixée par le tribunal.

Pour le personnel rémunéré en tout ou partie par des pourboires, le tribunal évalue le montant des pourboires en se référant notamment aux règles fixées pour le calcul des cotisations d’assurances sociales.
