Article L1234-11 of the French Labour Code

Circumstances leading to the suspension of the employment contract, by virtue of legal provisions, a collective labour agreement, contractual stipulations or customary practice, do not affect the employee’s seniority as assessed for the purpose of determining entitlement to redundancy pay.

However, the period of suspension is not taken into account when determining the length of service required to benefit from these provisions.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L1234-11

Les circonstances entraînant la suspension du contrat de travail, en vertu soit de dispositions légales, soit d’une convention ou d’un accord collectif de travail, soit de stipulations contractuelles, soit d’usages, ne rompent pas l’ancienneté du salarié appréciée pour la détermination du droit à l’indemnité de licenciement.

Toutefois, la période de suspension n’entre pas en compte pour la détermination de la durée d’ancienneté exigée pour bénéficier de ces dispositions.
