In companies with at least fifty employees, where the proposed redundancies concern at least ten employees within the same thirty-day period, the employer draws up and implements a job protection plan to avoid or limit the number of redundancies.
This plan includes a redeployment plan designed to facilitate the redeployment within France of employees whose redundancy could not be avoided, in particular older employees or employees with social characteristics or qualifications that make their professional reintegration particularly difficult.
When the job protection plan includes, with a view to avoiding the closure of one or more establishments, the transfer of one or more economic entities necessary to safeguard some of the jobs and when these companies wish to accept a takeover offer, the provisions of article L. 1224-1 relating to the transfer of employment contracts only apply within the limit of the number of jobs that have not been lost as a result of redundancies, on the effective date of this transfer.
