FAQ: 4.5-day work week
Yes, the arrangement of working time over 4.5 days is possible within the French legal framework, generally through a company agreement or an amendment to the internal regulations, without changing the overall working time.
In most cases, yes, a formalized agreement is recommended to legally secure the implementation, define practical modalities, and inform employees clearly.
