Young workers may not work on public holidays recognised by law.
In industrial establishments operating continuously, young workers may be employed every day of the week, subject to the minimum rest period provided for in articles L. 3132-2 and L. 3164-2.

Regardless of their length of service in the company, employees under the age of twenty-one on 30 April of the previous year are entitled, if they so request, to a holiday of thirty working days. They may not claim any holiday pay for the days of holiday that they claim in addition to those that they have acquired as a result of work carried out during the reference period.
The employer shall post the times at which work begins and ends, as well as the times and duration of rest periods. Where working hours are organised under the conditions laid down in article L. 3121-44, the posting shall include the distribution of working hours within the framework of this organisation. The individual scheduling of on-call periods is brought to the attention of each employee under conditions determined by regulation.

The Social and Economic Committee may consult these documents.
The employer shall make available to the labour inspection officer referred to in Article L. 8112-1 the documents required to record the working time completed by each employee. The nature of the documents and the period for which they are kept available are determined by regulation.

On the basis of this information and that provided by the employee in support of his claim, the judge will form his opinion after ordering, if necessary, any investigative measures that he deems useful.

Decrees of the Conseil d’Etat determine : 1° The conditions under which the monitoring of rest days is organised for all establishments, whether the weekly rest period is collective or organised on a rota basis; 2° The conditions under which the employer must notify the Labour Inspectorate monitoring officer referred to in article L. 8112-1 of the implementation of exceptions to the weekly rest period.
Under the supervision of the public prosecutor, the disciplinary chambers responsible for ministerial offices ensure the application of the provisions relating to weekly rest to clerks, clerks and employees of the law offices and registries in these offices.
