Prudhommes

A rupture conventionnelle is negotiated, signed, then approved by the labour authority. Interviews, the 15-day cooling-off period, how severance is calculated, unemployment rights since 1 September 2026 and how to challenge it.

Dismissal for serious misconduct removes notice pay and statutory severance. The two-month rule, precautionary suspension, sums still owed, unemployment rights and how to challenge it before the employment tribunal.

Unpaid overtime can be claimed over three years, and the burden of proof does not rest on the employee alone. Premium rates, the annual quota, day-rate contracts, the evidence to gather and the tribunal route.

Unfair dismissal compensation in France sits between a floor and a ceiling set by length of service. The full table, the rule for firms under 11 staff, void dismissals that escape the scale, cumulative claims and tax.
