Employment & Labor Law

Work Exemption

Work exemption allows the employee to no longer perform their tasks during all or part of the notice period. It should not be confused with the immediate end of the contract: its effect depends notably on the person requesting it and the content of the agreement.

When the employer takes the initiative to exempt the employee, the remuneration due during the notice period is in principle maintained according to the applicable rules. When the employee requests to leave earlier and the employer agrees, the ITM distinguishes a termination by mutual agreement: the non-worked period is then not automatically remunerated. An ambiguous oral response can therefore lead to significant disagreement.

The written document must specify who requests the exemption, its duration, the contract end date, and the treatment of amounts due. It is also necessary to organize the return of equipment and verify the obligations that continue to apply. For a departure to a new employer, do not deduce from the sole authorization to leave the premises that all the consequences of the departure are settled.
