France

Standard-Arbeitswoche

France's standard work week is Monday–Friday with a statutory 35-hour week (one of the shortest globally since 2000). Typical hours are 9:00–17:00.

Überstundenkultur & Rechtliche Konformität

Hours beyond 35 are overtime, paid at 1.25x for the first 8 hours and 1.5x thereafter. Sunday work is generally prohibited (except specific sectors). Overtime is strictly regulated and the culture is weak.

Rechtsgrundlage

French public holidays are defined by the Labor Code (Code du travail), totaling 11 per year. May 1 (Labor Day) is the only mandatory paid holiday; others are not moved if they fall on a weekend (except in Alsace-Moselle).
