Article L3123-22 of the French Labour Code

An agreement or an extended branch agreement may provide for the possibility, by means of a rider to the employment contract, of temporarily increasing the working hours laid down in the contract.

The agreement :

1° Determines the maximum number of amendments that may be concluded, up to a limit of eight per year and per employee, except in the case of replacement of a named absent employee;

2° May provide for an increase in pay for hours worked under this rider;

3° Determines the terms and conditions under which employees may benefit from additional hours as a matter of priority.

Additional hours worked beyond the duration determined by the rider give rise to an increase in pay of no less than 25%.

Une convention ou un accord de branche étendu peut prévoir la possibilité, par un avenant au contrat de travail, d’augmenter temporairement la durée de travail prévue par le contrat.

La convention ou l’accord :

1° Détermine le nombre maximal d’avenants pouvant être conclus, dans la limite de huit par an et par salarié, en dehors des cas de remplacement d’un salarié absent nommément désigné ;

2° Peut prévoir la majoration salariale des heures effectuées dans le cadre de cet avenant ;

3° Détermine les modalités selon lesquelles les salariés peuvent bénéficier prioritairement des compléments d’heures.

Les heures complémentaires accomplies au delà de la durée déterminée par l’avenant donnent lieu à une majoration salariale qui ne peut être inférieure à 25 %.
