French Labour Code
In forcePayment by the fund provided for in article L. 2232-8 is made on the basis of a lump sum per day or half-day of employee participation.
For the purposes of reimbursement by the fund, the employer shall send a request to the association mentioned in article L. 2135-15 containing documentary evidence of the identity of the employee, the purpose and date of the negotiation meetings and the certificate of participation by name drawn up by the employees' trade union organisation concerned.
The corresponding remuneration for the employee is paid by the employer in the month following receipt of the certificate sent by the trade union organisation concerned.
The request for reimbursement is made by the employer within six months of receipt of the certificate from the employee trade union organisation.
The fund reimburses the employer for the total amount it has to pay for all its employees who took part in the branch negotiations, within a period of no more than ninety days from receipt of the complete application.
The model for the request for the employer to cover the costs is established by order of the Minister of Labour.
