SF Security, a surveillance company based at Le Mans, has signed a company accord on working time with the elected members of its comité social et économique holding a majority of votesLegifrance. Concluded for an indefinite period
Legifrance with effect from 8 July 2026
Legifrance, it creates a company allowance for employees forced to use a personal vehicle for the home-to-work journey
Legifrance.
Eligibility follows two cumulative tests.Legifrance The employee's home or workplace must be in a commune not served by regular public transport or outside the perimeter of a compulsory mobility plan under articles L. 1214-3 and L. 1214-24 du code des transports
Legifrance — the accord notes, by way of example, that the whole Paris region is served and therefore not eligible. In addition, use of a personal vehicle must be made indispensable by particular working hours that prevent using collective transport
Legifrance. Mirroring article R. 3261-12 du code du travail, the accord excludes employees with a permanently provided company vehicle with fuel or charging paid, employees housed so they bear no commuting cost, and employees whose transport the employer already provides free.
The allowance covers fuel costs or the charging of electric, plug-in hybrid or hydrogen vehicles.Legifrance It is set at EUR 0.30 per kilometre travelled between the home declared to the company and the place of intervention
Legifrance, counting only distance beyond 40 kilometres from headquarters to the intervention site
Legifrance. It is capped at the applicable scale for the tax and social-security exemption on personal-transport reimbursements
Legifrance. Employees must produce proof of address, the vehicle registration document and a sworn statement of permanent, indispensable use of the personal vehicle for commuting
Legifrance; without these, nothing is paid
Legifrance.
Payment is monthly, with the payroll of the following monthLegifrance, and the accord applies retroactively from 1 January 2025 on introduction
Legifrance. The accord states that at signature these sums benefit from tax and social exemptions under conditions; by way of public-law background, the prime carburant is free of social contributions up to EUR 300 per year per employee. If the social-security exemptions were abolished, payment under the accord would stop immediately with no notice
Legifrance — the company calls the exemptions an essential condition of its consent. Same-nature bonuses or allowances may only cumulate as statutes, regulations or collective agreements allow
Legifrance.
The accord also sets its housekeeping rules: interpretation meetings within 30 days on request, unanimous interpretative avenants within three months, a four-yearly follow-up with the CSE, a four-yearly renegotiation rendezvous, revision possible three months after taking effect, and denunciation on three months' notice. It was signed at Le Mans on 8 July 2026Legifrance and filed via TéléAccords and the Le Mans employment-tribunal registry.
Legal basis: accord collectif relatif à la durée du travail, SF Security du 8 juillet 2026; articles L. 1214-3 et L. 1214-24 du code des transports; articles R. 3261-12, L. 2231-6, D. 2231-2 et L. 2231-5-1 du code du travail.
