Jours de Fractionnement

Note: This integration is an extension that is developed outside the normal release schedule to meet specific customer needs. To request one of these extensions, you must submit a Salesforce Service Request to UKG. After the extension is delivered to your tenant, you can edit it accordingly.

The labor law in France defines a legal period during which employees are encouraged to take a contiguous span of time as their main vacation. When situations arise that prevent them from doing so, employees are entitled to extra days of paid time; this is known as Jours de Fractionnement. This extension automatically validates whether an employee qualifies to receive Jours de Fractionnement, and then adjusts the accrual balance, as necessary.

Full-time employees in France are entitled to 5 weeks (25 days) of paid vacation. A minimum of 12 contiguous vacation days must be taken to qualify as main leave. The right to additional days is subject to certain conditions that organizations configure to meet their specific needs. Conditions include:

  • Minimum number of acquired vacation days at the beginning of the legal period.

  • (Optional) Required number of contiguous vacation days that must be taken during the legal period.

  • Number of remaining acquired vacation days at the end of the legal period.

When the conditions are met, employees are entitled to:

• 1 extra vacation day when they have a remaining balance of 3-5 days.

• 2 extra vacation days when they have a remaining balance of 6 or more days.

The extension works only for day-based accruals in the current year. Organizations identify the day-based paycodes that are considered main vacation. Interruptions to vacation caused by worked time or assimilated absences, such as training or customer visits, initiate the validation process. Adjustments are made to a specified accrual on a grant date that falls after the legal period end date. An indicative paycode and comment are added to the timecard.
