This is a major HR legal update with direct consequences for absence management and holiday tracking across all organisations.
From now on, if an employee is on holiday and a doctor prescribes sick leave, those days will no longer be deducted from their holiday entitlement.
Instead, they can be rescheduled and taken at a later date.
This reform stems from:
An employee takes two weeks’ holiday in August.
On 5 August, they are signed off sick until 10 August.
Result: those 6 days are not counted as holiday and can be rescheduled later.

If you are expanding your business into France or already managing a local team, offering a health plan (“mutuelle”) is only part of your compliance and employee benefits responsibilities.
Hiring in France means more than offering a salary. It means integrating into one of the world’s most structured social protection systems, including healthcare, which is both robust and highly regulated.
Every day, over 4 million employees in France use their meal vouchers (titres-restaurant) to pay for lunch. Yet, many companies and employees are unaware of the exact rules governing their eligibility and use.
