Seasonal employment contracts as defined in 3° of article L. 1242-2 may include a renewal clause for the following season.
A collective labour agreement may stipulate that any employer who has employed an employee in a seasonal job must offer him a job of the same nature for the same season in the following year, unless there are real and serious grounds for not doing so. The agreement defines the conditions for this, in particular the trial period, and specifies in particular the deadline by which this offer must be made to the employee before the start of the season, as well as the minimum amount of compensation received by the employee if no offer of re-employment is made.
To calculate the employee’s seniority, the duration of successive seasonal employment contracts with the same company is added together.
