Article L3132-8 of the French Labour Code

When an industrial or commercial establishment grants weekly rest on the same day to all employees, this rest may be reduced to half a day for employees assigned to the cleaning of industrial premises and maintenance work which must necessarily be carried out on the collective rest day and which is essential to avoid a delay in the normal resumption of work.

In this case, compensatory rest is granted at the rate of one full day for two half-day reductions.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L3132-8

Lorsqu’un établissement industriel ou commercial attribue le repos hebdomadaire le même jour à tous les salariés, ce repos peut être réduit à une demi-journée pour les salariés affectés aux travaux de nettoyage des locaux industriels et de maintenance qui doivent être réalisés nécessairement le jour de repos collectif et qui sont indispensables pour éviter un retard dans la reprise normale du travail.

Dans ce cas, un repos compensateur est attribué à raison d’une journée entière pour deux réductions d’une demi-journée.
