Article L1233-45 of the French Labour Code

Employees made redundant for economic reasons have priority for re-employment for a period of one year from the date of termination of their contract, if they make a request during this period.

In this case, the employer shall inform the employee of any job that has become available and is compatible with his qualifications. In addition, the employer shall inform the staff representatives of the positions available.

An employee who has acquired a new qualification is also entitled to priority re-employment on the basis of this qualification, if he informs the employer.

Article L1233-45

Le salarié licencié pour motif économique bénéficie d’une priorité de réembauche durant un délai d’un an à compter de la date de rupture de son contrat s’il en fait la demande au cours de ce même délai.

Dans ce cas, l’employeur informe le salarié de tout emploi devenu disponible et compatible avec sa qualification. En outre, l’employeur informe les représentants du personnel des postes disponibles.

Le salarié ayant acquis une nouvelle qualification bénéficie également de la priorité de réembauche au titre de celle-ci, s’il en informe l’employeur.
