TECTA sets 37.5-hour weekly package with overtime top-ups

SAS TECTA, the Vertical Sea group company based at Allonzier-la-Caille, has signed a company accord on the forfait hebdomadaire en heuresLegifrance with its elected comité social et économique membersLegifrance. Signed on 27 August 2026Legifrance, it applies for an indefinite period from 1 September 2026Legifrance to all existing and future French sitesLegifrance, replacing every earlier company accord, convention, commitment or usage on the same subjectLegifrance; only the annual overtime-quota provisions wait until 1 January 2027Legifrance.

The accord authorises individual weekly hours packagesLegifrance: a written convention, in the contract or an annexed avenant referring to the accordLegifrance, setting a 37.5-hour weekLegifrance including 2.5 overtime hoursLegifrance, with the corresponding monthly pay. It is open to any employee on a permanent or fixed-term contract, executive or not, with no seniority requirement, whose schedule regularly includes overtimeLegifrance; cadres dirigeants are excludedLegifrance. Refusing to sign is neither grounds for dismissal nor misconductLegifrance. The package pay must at least equal the applicable minimum for the employee's grade for the packaged hoursLegifrance, plus the statutory or collectively agreed overtime upliftsLegifrance.

Time is tracked under ordinary-law rules through an individual monthly statementLegifrance kept by the employee and validated by the manager in the company's IT tool — Akuiteo at signatureLegifrance. Package staff stay subject to all maximum-duration rulesLegifrance: 10 hours a dayLegifrance, 48 hours a week or 44 on average over 12 weeksLegifrance, daily restLegifrance, no more than six working days a weekLegifrance, weekly rest of 24 consecutive hours plus daily rest totalling 35 hoursLegifrance, and the overtime quotaLegifrance. Hours worked beyond the package are paid on top at the overtime rate of an ordinary company employeeLegifrance, increasing the package payLegifrance.

The quota is set at 220 overtime hours per employee per year whatever the occupational categoryLegifrance. Overtime beyond the quota earns a contrepartie obligatoire en repos of 100% — one hour worked, one hour of compulsory restLegifrance — treated as effective working timeLegifrance, paid as salaryLegifrance, claimable by full or half days within six months once the entitlement reaches 220 hoursLegifrance. The employee requests dates with two weeks' noticeLegifrance; the employer answers within seven daysLegifrance, giving reasons after consulting the CSE if it refuses. The employer may defer for imperative operating reasons such as an exceptional workload surge, seasonal constraints or simultaneous absences threatening continuity, but must offer another date within seven daysLegifrance and cannot push the rest beyond one month; competing requests rank by prior deferrals, number of children under 16, then seniority.

The accord also writes in a right to disconnect: the company undertakes not to solicit staff during rest periodsLegifrance, with no duty to answerLegifrance and no sanction for silenceLegifrance, plus a recommendation not to contact colleagues outside usual hours, at weekends, on holidays, during leave or while the contract is suspendedLegifrance. Filed via TéléAccords and the Annemasse employment-tribunal registry, it may be revised under article L. 2261-7-1Legifrance and denounced under articles L. 2261-9 et seq. du code du travailLegifrance.
