Subsection 2: Use of the account for part-time work

An employee with a professional prevention account is entitled, under the conditions and within the limits set out in articles L. 4163-5 and L. 4163-7, to a reduction in working hours.

The employee applies to the employer for a reduction in working hours, under conditions laid down by decree. This request can only be refused if reasons are given for the refusal and if the employer can demonstrate that such a reduction is impossible given the economic activity of the company.

In the event of a dispute with his employer due to the latter’s refusal to grant the employee’s request to use his account for a change to part-time work as specified in Article L. 4163-10, the employee may refer the matter to the industrial tribunal under the conditions set out in Title I of Book IV of Part One.

The additional remuneration referred to in 2° of I of article L. 4163-7 is determined under conditions and within limits set by decree. It is subject to all statutory and collectively agreed social security contributions, in accordance with the terms and conditions in force on the date it is paid.
