French Labour Code
In forceI.-When the professional transition project is carried out during working hours, the employee benefits from the remuneration provided for in article L. 6323-17-5 for the duration of his project, subject to his attendance at the training course or in-company work placement required to obtain the certification provided for in the professional transition project.
II - The remuneration of the beneficiary of the professional transition project and the statutory and conventional social contributions payable by the employer based on this remuneration are paid monthly by the employer.
The regional cross-industry joint committee reimburses the employer within a maximum of one month from receipt of the following supporting documents:
1° A copy of the pay slip ;
2° Proof of the beneficiary's attendance at the training course or in-company work placement;
3° Where applicable, proof of statutory and collective bargaining social security contributions payable by the employer on remuneration in the company concerned.
III.In companies with fewer than fifty employees, the employer is entitled, at his request, to reimbursement of the remuneration paid and the statutory and conventional social security contributions based on this remuneration in the form of advances.
The total amount of the advances may not exceed 90% of the total amount of the monthly remuneration and the statutory and conventional social security contributions based on the remuneration due by the employer during the professional transition project.
The first advance is paid to the employer by the regional inter-professional joint committee no later than thirty days after receipt of the invoice issued by the employer including the total amount of remuneration and statutory and conventional social contributions due by the employer during the professional transition project. The balance is paid to the employer by the regional inter-professional joint committee, after receipt of the supporting documents, at the end of the professional transition project.
If the employee abandons the professional transition project or is absent for more than one month, payment is made pro rata temporis for the duration of the professional transition project.
The rate and conditions of payment of the advances are defined jointly by the regional inter-professional joint committee and the employer. They may apply to all employees benefiting from a professional transition project during a period defined jointly by the regional joint inter-professional committee and the employer. In the absence of an agreement before the start of the professional transition project, the rate and conditions of payment of the advance are determined by order of the Minister responsible for professional training.
Where applicable, the employer will inform the regional joint inter-professional committee of the occurrence of any event that may have an impact on the employee's attendance at the training course or the amount of remuneration and statutory and contractual social security contributions, and will provide supporting documents before the next advance or the balance is paid.
Payment in the form of advances will be suspended if the employer fails to provide supporting documents to the regional joint inter-professional committee.
In the event of an overpayment in respect of advances paid by the regional joint industrial committee, the employer will reimburse the regional joint industrial committee concerned no later than thirty days after the committee has established that the overpayment has been made.
IV -For individual employers, the remuneration of the employee benefiting from a professional transition project and the statutory and conventional social security contributions based on this remuneration are paid monthly by the regional joint inter-professional committee.
