Article R5424-4 of the French Labour Code

The periods of employment are calculated, where applicable, after applying to each of them a coefficient equal to the ratio between the weekly working time of the person concerned, fixed by his contract of employment or undertaking, during the period of employment and the legal working time or the contractual working time where this is less than the legal working time, applicable to the employer during this period of employment.
However, this correction is only applied when the weekly working time of the person concerned is less than half of the legal working time or the working time provided for in the collective bargaining agreement previously mentioned during the period of employment.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R5424-4


Le calcul des périodes d’emploi s’effectue, le cas échéant, après application à chacune d’elles d’un coefficient égal au rapport entre la durée hebdomadaire de travail de l’intéressé, fixée par son contrat de travail ou engagement, pendant la période d’emploi et la durée légale de travail ou la durée de travail conventionnelle lorsque celle-ci est inférieure à la durée légale, applicable à l’employeur pendant cette période d’emploi.
Toutefois, ce correctif n’est appliqué que lorsque la durée hebdomadaire de travail de l’intéressé est inférieure à la moitié de la durée de travail légale ou conventionnelle précédemment mentionnée pendant la période d’emploi.
