French Labour Code
In forceHotel, café and restaurant staff receive a salary calculated on the basis of forty-three hours paid at the rate of the minimum growth wage, the salary thus established corresponding to a weekly attendance time of forty-three hours for cooks, fifty-two hours for night watchmen and forty-five hours for other staff.
The application of these provisions to employees other than cooks, who are employed on the basis of a weekly schedule between thirty-nine hours and the attendance times set out above and who have completed their attendance time in full, may not result in the latter being paid a salary calculated on the basis of less than thirty-nine hours paid at the minimum growth wage rate.
The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article do not apply to employees whose working hours are contractually fixed at less than or equal to thirty-nine hours per week, for whom each hour of attendance is paid at the rate of the minimum growth wage.
