French Public Health Code
In forceA hospital practitioner whose family situation allows him/her to benefit from the provisions of article R. 6152-45 may request a change in the number of hours worked instead of granting parental leave, under the same conditions. The change in the number of hours worked and the return to the initial number of hours worked are automatic.
The change in the number of hours worked is also automatic when the hospital practitioner requests it in order to provide care for his spouse, a dependent child or an ascendant, who is suffering from a disability requiring the presence of a third party or who is the victim of a serious accident or illness. This request must be submitted no later than one month before the start of the period.
The modification of the working time ratio is also automatic when the hospital practitioner requests it in order to carry out studies or research of general interest or to undergo training. This request must be submitted no later than two months before the start of the period.
In the cases provided for in the second and third paragraphs, the return to the initial work-sharing ratio is automatic if the period during which the work-sharing ratio was modified does not exceed six months. The request to return to this initial work-sharing must be submitted one month before the end of this period for the case mentioned in the second paragraph and two months for the case mentioned in the third paragraph.
