When an employee who has reached the age stipulated in the first paragraph of article L. 161-22-1-5 of the Social Security Code asks to work part-time, he must send his request, under conditions set by decree, to the employer. In the absence of a written and reasoned response within two months of receipt of the request, the employer’s agreement is deemed to have been obtained.
The employer’s refusal is justified by the incompatibility of the working hours requested by the employee with the economic activity of the company.
