The law on full employment of 18 December 2023 has incorporated into the labor code the provisions on temporary work contracts and adapted temporary work companies, hitherto in the experimental phase.

Details on the duration of the Tremplin CSDs

As a reminder, the so-called Tremplin CDD is a CDD concluded between a suitable company and a disabled worker. It offers individual support to the worker, who will be able to acquire professional experience and benefit from training. It also aims to facilitate his professional transition to other companies.

The decree of 10 February 2024 specifies the contours of this sustainability:

  • the minimum duration of a Tremplin CDD is 4 months (renewable up to 24 months including renewal);
  • the weekly working time must be 20 hours minimum;
  • the employee's contract may be suspended at his request in order to allow him to carry out, with the agreement of his employer, a period of placement in a professional environment or an “action contributing to his professional integration”. The contract may also be suspended in order to carry out a probationary period which may lead to employment under a permanent or fixed-term employment contract of at least six months. In case of hiring, the contract is broken without notice.

Please note

By way of derogation, it is possible to renew the employee's contract beyond a maximum of 24 months when this enables him to complete a vocational training activity in progress at the end of the contract.

Mission and operation of adapted temporary work companies (TTW)

States are suitable companies that can conclude temporary assignment contracts to facilitate access to sustainable work for disabled workers. These companies may also use Interim agreements.

The decree states that the states respect the same functioning as an adapted company.

In addition, the regional prefect, taking into account the economic and social needs and the existing offer in his territory, may conclude with a framework presenting a viable economic and social project for the employment of disabled workers, a multiannual contract of objectives and means which shall constitute an authorization as a suitable company of temporary work in the region of establishment.

Please note

Adapted temporary work companies employing disabled workers are eligible for financial support. This aid, paid by the Agency for Services and Payments (ASP), is intended to offset the cost of enhanced support and training.

Accompaniment of the employee by adapted companies

Adapted companies and the states must take measures to accompany the employee.

It is an individualized pathway taking into account the needs and abilities of each disabled worker. The purpose of this support is to enable the employee concerned to develop, with a view to his/her integration, his/her ability to act on his/her own in his/her professional environment.

During this journey, the company must seek the opinion of the disabled worker on the capacities he wishes to develop.

The accompanying measures are as follows:
