Updated 31 Oct 2023

I. - The days mentioned in 2° of Article R. 6152-807-2 are maintained on the time savings account subject to the cumulative conditions listed in 1° and 2° below:

1° The annual increase in the number of days registered above the threshold mentioned in article R. 6152-807-1 does not exceed a ceiling set by a joint order of the ministers in charge of health, the civil service and the budget.

2° The total number of days recorded in the account does not exceed an overall ceiling set by the same order.

II - On the grounds of the need for continuity or permanence of care as set out in a report drawn up by the director of the establishment and in consideration of the staffing situation of the structure to which the practitioners concerned are assigned, the director general of the regional health agency may authorise, after consultation with the joint regional commission and for a maximum period of three years, an overrun of the ceiling for annual growth of the time savings account of these practitioners. A request for conciliation before the regional joint committee may be submitted to the director of the establishment by the practitioners concerned.

When the Director General of the Regional Health Agency is informed by the Director of the establishment of a request for conciliation made by practitioners on the basis of the first paragraph of II of this article, he entrusts this conciliation task to the Regional Joint Committee, in accordance with the provisions of Article R. 6152-326 of this Code.

The Director General of the Regional Health Agency may, under the same conditions, authorise the ceiling provided for in 2° of this article to be exceeded, with effect from a date set by a joint order of the Ministers of Health, the Civil Service and the Budget and provided that this excess does not exceed a maximum number of days set by the same order.

III - The days maintained on the time savings account under I and II may be used in the form of leave, taken under the same conditions as those mentioned in articles R. 6152-807 and R. 6152-807-1.

Common Questions

Working with a corporate lawyer in France — Q&A

Any time a strategic decision changes how the company is owned, governed or contractually bound — incorporation, fundraising, M&A, restructuring, shareholder agreements, or major commercial contracts. Earlier engagement always costs less than later remediation.

A notary (notaire) is a public officer who authenticates specific deeds (mainly real-estate transfers and certain family-law acts). A corporate lawyer (avocat) advises on strategy, negotiates and drafts company documents, and represents you in disputes. The two roles complement rather than overlap.

Yes — most of our clients are foreign suppliers, investors or holding entities. We bridge the gap between French law and your home jurisdiction's expectations and deliver everything bilingually.

The SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) is the default choice for most international structures: flexible governance, single shareholder allowed, no minimum capital, and works cleanly with foreign holding entities. We assess SARL, SA, SCI on the merits when the situation calls for it.

Yes — communications with a French avocat are protected by the secret professionnel (Article 66-5 of the Law of 31 December 1971). This protection is broader than the common-law attorney-client privilege and applies to written and oral exchanges.

We work on fixed fees for clearly scoped engagements (incorporation, contract drafting, audits) and on monthly retainers for ongoing advisory. Hourly billing is the exception, not the default. You always know the cost before work starts.

Typical timeline is 2–3 weeks from KYC kick-off to RCS registration, assuming standard documentation. Holding-company structures, foreign-shareholder identification or in-kind contributions can extend this — we flag the gating items at the first meeting.

Absolutely. We routinely coordinate with your in-house counsel, expert-comptable or notaire — pragmatic collaboration is the norm, not the exception. We send them everything they need to do their part without duplicating work.
