If a temporary employment agency terminates an employee’s contract of employment before the end of the term provided for in the contract, it will, except in cases of serious misconduct or force majeure, offer the employee a new contract of employment taking effect within a maximum of three working days.
The new assignment contract may not include any changes to an essential element of the employee’s professional qualifications, remuneration, working hours or travel time.
Failing this, or if the new assignment contract is for a shorter period than that remaining on the previous contract, the temporary employment agency will pay the employee a salary equivalent to that which he would have received until the end of the contract, including the end-of-assignment allowance.
When the remaining duration of the broken assignment contract is more than four weeks, the obligations of this article may be fulfilled by means of a maximum of three successive contracts.
