Title I: Caretakers and employees of residential buildings

Where the replacement of the employee during the period of paid leave involves the total or partial occupation of the employee’s home by his replacement, the employee has the option of not using his leave entitlement. In this case, the employee receives an indemnity equal to the amount of the salary indemnity that would be paid to his replacement.

The employer declares, within a period determined by regulation, whether he accepts the replacement proposed by the employee.

If the employer refuses to accept the proposed replacement, he will provide the replacement himself. In this case, for the duration of his paid leave, the employee shall make the premises and furniture available to the replacement appointed by the employer. The employer is liable for any abuse or damage that may be committed by the replacement.
