The request to exercise all or part of the right to leave acquired under the time savings account may only be refused on the grounds of the requirements of the service.
Such refusal may not, however, deprive the person concerned of his rights to the benefit of the time saved. In particular, no refusal may be made when the time saved is equal to or greater than the time remaining before the date of retirement, without the use of the rights resulting in the postponement of the date of termination of service.
The time savings account may be used as of right at the end of maternity leave, adoption leave, paternity leave, family solidarity leave or sick leave of three months or more, provided that a request has been made to the Director of the establishment.
