Article L5424-14 of the French Labour Code

Daily bad weather allowances do not constitute pay and therefore do not give rise to the payment of social security contributions, with the exception of those relating to the application of legislation on paid holidays and those provided for inarticle 6 of law no. 82-1 of 4 January 1982 relating to various social measures.

However, the provisions of Titles III, IV and V of Book II of Part Three of this Code and ofArticle 2101 of the Civil Code are applicable to the payment of bad weather compensation.

For the purpose of determining the entitlement of the persons concerned to the various social security benefits, the periods for which they have received weather-related daily allowances are treated as periods of involuntary unemployment.

Article L5424-14

Les indemnités journalières d’intempéries ne constituent pas un salaire et ne donnent pas lieu en conséquence au versement de cotisations sociales, à l’exception de celles concernant l’application de la législation sur les congés payés et de celles qui sont prévues à l’article 6 de la loi n° 82-1 du 4 janvier 1982 portant diverses mesures d’ordre social.

Toutefois, les dispositions des titres III, IV et V du livre II de la troisième partie du présent code et de l’article 2101 du code civil sont applicables au paiement des indemnités d’intempéries.

En vue de la détermination du droit des intéressés aux diverses prestations de la sécurité sociale, les périodes pour lesquelles ils ont bénéficié des indemnités journalières d’intempéries sont assimilées à des périodes de chômage involontaire.
