Article L5424-18 of the French Labour Code

In the event of a stoppage due to bad weather, employees who cannot be employed by their employer may be placed by their company at the disposal of public authorities to carry out work in the public interest.

In this case, the employees concerned receive the salary corresponding to the work performed plus, where applicable, an allowance equal to the difference between the salary used to calculate the bad weather allowance and the salary received for this occasional work.

Article L5424-18

En cas d’arrêt pour cause d’intempéries, les salariés que leur employeur ne peut occuper peuvent être mis par leur entreprise à la disposition de collectivités publiques pour l’exécution de travaux d’intérêt général.

Dans ce cas, les intéressés perçoivent le salaire correspondant aux travaux accomplis auxquels s’ajoute, le cas échéant, une indemnité égale à la différence entre le salaire servant de base au calcul de l’indemnité d’intempéries et le salaire perçu pour ces travaux occasionnels.
