Home-care company AVS BESANCON of ChalezeuleLegifrance has revised its working-time accord in the 2026 annual pay round. The revision amendment, signed with the FO union delegate on 4 June 2026
Legifrance, amends the company working-time accord first effective 2 May 2013 and last revised 26 March 2026, replacing all prior same-subject provisions
Legifrance. It runs indefinitely, takes effect on 1 September 2026
Legifrance, and the parties meet one year later to review application, plus again if legal or regulatory changes materially affect it.
For home-visiting staffLegifrance, working time is annualised over the calendar year
Legifrance to absorb activity swings and keep services continuous: 1,607 hours a year
Legifrance, averaging 35 hours a week, with the week running Monday 0:00 to Sunday midnight. Weekly hours may vary between a stated floor and a stated ceiling (limite haute hebdomadaire); the anonymised publication redacts both figures. Daily effective working time cannot exceed 10 hours under Article L.3121-18 of the Code du travail, but given rostering constraints and continuity for accompanied persons it may exceptionally reach 12 hours within 70 days a year
Legifrance. The working week cannot exceed 48 hours.
Paid or compensated absences, leave and authorised absences under legal, regulatory or collectively agreed provisions give no right to recovery. Absences other than paid leave, of any kind and whether compensated or not, count in the individual annualisation counter. The text states the figures underpinning that counter as redacted in the published version.
Night on-call (astreinte de nuit) runs on the rostered slot, set by management after Comité Social et Économique consultation and adjustable with business needs; the published version redacts the actual slot. Better reconciliation of night work with family and social responsibilities is said to come through a redacted measure, and night call-out hours are paid at a redacted rate, without prejudice to applicable collectively agreed provisions. For specified houses (maisons), also redacted in the publication, on-call duty is paid at a redacted gross hourly rate reflecting those houses' specific intervention conditions. The amendment is filed with the Besançon conseil de prud'hommes registry and the Besançon DDETSPP via the ministerial platform, in full and anonymised versions, and notified to all staff via the intranet and the notice board. Legal basis: avenant de révision de l'accord d'entreprise relatif à la durée du travail of AVS BESANCON, Articles 1 to 4.
Home carers should check rosters against the 10-hour day (12-hour exception) and 48-hour week caps, and track absences in the annualisation counter.
