Article R5122-8 of the French Labour Code

Employers and their employees are not entitled to partial activity allowances and indemnities when the reduction or suspension of activity is caused by a collective labour dispute affecting the establishment in which the employees are employed. However, in the case of a closure of the company or a service decided by the employer following a strike, the payment of allowances and compensation may be authorised by decision of the Minister for Employment, if the closure lasts for more than three days.

Article R5122-8

Ne peuvent bénéficier de l’allocation et de l’indemnité d’activité partielle les employeurs et leurs salariés quand la réduction ou la suspension de l’activité est provoquée par un différend collectif de travail intéressant l’établissement dans lequel ces salariés sont employés. Toutefois, dans le cas d’une fermeture de l’entreprise ou d’un service décidée par l’employeur suite à une grève, le versement des allocations et des indemnités peut être autorisé par décision du ministre chargé de l’emploi, si la fermeture se prolonge plus de trois jours.
