Any councillor to the Assembly of French Guyana who is in receipt of official allowances and who is unable, in the event of illness, maternity, paternity or accident, to effectively carry out his duties beyond a period of fifteen clear days, is required to indicate to the territorial collectivity of French Guyana the amount of his daily allowances which are, where applicable, paid by his social security scheme in respect of his professional activity, accompanied by supporting documents concerning the stoppage of work and its compensation, in order to determine the amount of the functional allowances to be awarded to him in accordance with Article L. 7125-26.
In the event of an overpayment, the local authority will proceed to recover the undue amount from the time the elected official receives the daily allowances and declares the amount.
When the councillor to the Assembly of French Guyana does not benefit from any daily allowance scheme or does not meet the conditions to benefit from compensation from the social security scheme under which he/she works, the official allowances are maintained in full for the duration of the work stoppage.
In the event of multiple mandates, the provisions of the first paragraph of this article shall apply to each mandate.
