قوانین اضافه‌کاری در France

Not every threshold on this page is fixed by national law in France. The figures above are what the statute sets; where one is marked as not set nationally, the point at which overtime begins, or the rate it is paid at, comes from the employment contract, the collective agreement or sector rules instead.

An empty figure is information rather than an omission. Read the source linked below before applying any of these numbers to a specific contract in France.

The maximum working week in France is 48 hours, including overtime. Averaging arrangements over a reference period are common and may change how the limit applies to any single week.

A rest break of at least 20 minutes applies once a shift exceeds 6 hours. Unpaid breaks are excluded from paid hours, which is how the hours calculator treats the break field by default.

Select France in the hours calculator or the timesheet and these thresholds and the 1.25× multiplier are applied to your week automatically. Overtime hours are shown on their own line rather than folded into the total, so the figure can be checked against the statute.
