MS Motorservice sets 218-day forfait and 36-hour week from 1 July

MS Motorservice France now works under a single company working-time agreement that replaces every prior arrangement on the same subject, whether from accords, unilateral decisions or usageLegifrance. Signed on 5 June 2026 with the members of the comité social et économiqueLegifrance, it applies for an indefinite periodLegifrance from 1 July 2026Legifrance to all employees except cadres dirigeants within the meaning of article L3111-2 of the Code du travailLegifrance.

Autonomous managers and experts work under an annual forfait in days: employees in job groups F, G, H and I of the métallurgie classification who set their own schedules, and other employees whose working time cannot be predetermined and who enjoy real autonomyLegifrance. Their year counts at most 218 working days for full holiday entitlement over the calendar yearLegifrance, with preserved daily and weekly rest, paid leave and chômé public holidays.

Forfait staff earn rest days making up the difference between the calendar and the days owed: for 2026 the accord computes 365 minus 218 working days, 104 weekend days, 25 leave days and 8 holidays, then subtracts the journée de solidarité, leaving nine rest days. Rest can be taken by half-day or full day with one calendar day's notice, five days for two or more consecutive days; management can cancel in exceptional cases with three working days' notice. Management reserves one or two rest days a year, mainly for the journée de solidarité, bridges and site closures. Rest days must be used by 31 December with no carry-over except in exceptional circumstancesLegifrance.

At management's express written request, forfait staff can waive rest days and work up to 235 days a yearLegifrance, each day beyond 218 worked at management's request in exchange for waived rest days paid with a 10% upliftLegifrance; pay is otherwise smoothed monthly. Oversight runs through self-declaration validated by HR, an annual interview on workload and balance, a 13-hour maximum span with 11 hours' daily and 24 hours' weekly rest, plus a disconnection right under the company's IT charter.

Hourly staff work a 1,607-hour year including the journée de solidarité and excluding overtimeLegifrance, through a 36-hour week Monday to FridayLegifrance with eight RTT days a year for full-time staffLegifrance, pro rata for part-time staff on the 36-hour baseLegifrance. The logistics, workshop and SAV services work fixed hours set in the accordLegifrance, the call centre works a manager-set rota within its service windowLegifrance, and the listed support functions use flexitime. Support functions on full-time CDD or CDI in purchasing, marketing, communication, supply, HR, accounting and finance, OES/SOE, sales assistance and sedentary sales staff, IT and export may use flexitime around core hours 9h15–12h00 and 14h00–17h00 (16h00 Friday) with carry-overs capped weekly and monthly. RTT days are taken by full or half day with the same notice rules, at least six at the employee's initiative, one or two reserved to management, settled by 31 DecemberLegifrance, and cut pro rata for absences that are not effective working time.

Overtime means effective hours beyond 36 a weekLegifrance, only on prior management authorisationLegifrance, within the 220-hour annual legal contingentLegifrance: 25% for the first seven hours from the 37thLegifrance, 50% beyondLegifrance, convertible by agreement into equivalent rest taken within twelve months. The accord is reviewed yearly in a CSE meeting, revisable or terminable on three months' notice under article L2261-9, and filed with the labour administration and the competent conseil de prud'hommes.
