A contractual practitioner who wishes to extend his working life must submit a request to this effect to the director of the establishment in which he wishes to work, at least six months before the date on which he will reach the age limit.
The extension of activity is granted, under the conditions set out in article R. 6152-814, for periods of six months or one year, on the reasoned opinion of the head of the division, the head of the department or the head of the internal structure to which the practitioner is assigned, as well as the chairman of the establishment’s medical committee, and subject to medical fitness.
The decision is taken by the director of the establishment, who notifies the practitioner at least three months before the start of the extended period of activity.
