Article L3123-13 of the French Labour Code

When, during a period of twelve consecutive weeks or during a period of twelve weeks within a period of fifteen weeks or during the period provided for by a collective agreement concluded on the basis of article L. 3121-44, whichever is longer, the average working hours actually worked by an employee exceed by at least two hours per week, or by the monthly equivalent of this duration, the working hours provided for in his contract, the latter shall be modified, subject to seven days’ notice and unless the employee concerned objects.

The modified working hours are equal to the working hours previously set plus the difference between those hours and the average hours actually worked.

Lorsque, pendant une période de douze semaines consécutives ou pendant douze semaines au cours d’une période de quinze semaines ou pendant la période prévue par un accord collectif conclu sur le fondement de l’article L. 3121-44 si elle est supérieure, l’horaire moyen réellement accompli par un salarié a dépassé de deux heures au moins par semaine, ou de l’équivalent mensuel de cette durée, l’horaire prévu dans son contrat, celui-ci est modifié, sous réserve d’un préavis de sept jours et sauf opposition du salarié intéressé.

L’horaire modifié est égal à l’horaire antérieurement fixé auquel est ajoutée la différence entre cet horaire et l’horaire moyen réellement accompli.
