Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2001, publiée 90ème session CIT (2002)

Convention (n° 140) sur le congé-éducation payé, 1974 - France (Ratification: 1975)

The Committee notes the comments made by the French Democratic Confederation of Labour (CFDT), which were transmitted by the Government with its report. According to the CFDT, the total number of cases in which individual training leave (CIF) was granted in 1999 was 30,000, of which 3,968 were for fixed-term contracts, that is a low number in terms of the population potentially concerned (16 million employees in the private sector) and can be explained by the low level of financial resources allocated to such leave by enterprises. The Committee invites the Government to provide any comments that it deems useful on this matter in its next report.
