Employees of KIRIEL taking birth leave keep their compulsory company health-cost cover for the whole leaveLegifrance on the same terms as staff on indemnified suspension
Legifrance. Amendment 4 to the company's health-cost agreement, signed at Aigueperse on 13 October 2026
Legifrance by the company and its works council
Legifrance
Legifrance, adds that rule to the collective agreement of 8 December 2017
Legifrance and applies from 1 November 2026
Legifrance. All other provisions of the 2017 agreement stay unchanged.
The beneficiaries are employees taking the statutory birth leaveLegifrance. For them the scheme's guarantees continue throughout the leave without interruption or reduction relative to active staff
Legifrance. The employer's financing share continues on the usual terms during the leave
Legifrance. The employee remains liable for their own contribution, calculated exactly as if they were present in the company
Legifrance.
The amendment does not create a separate scheme for birth leave. It aligns birth-leave treatment with the existing indemnified-suspension treatment: same guarantees, same employer funding, same employee contribution baseLegifrance
Legifrance
Legifrance. Payroll keeps deducting the employee share and paying the employer share through the leave as for present staff
Legifrance
Legifrance.
The amendment's stated object is to specify the maintenance conditions during statutory birth leave: guarantees maintained for the full duration, employer participation maintained on usual terms, employee share due as if presentLegifrance. The three-copy instrument names the company by registered office at 8 route de Riom, 63260 Aigueperse, and SIRET 40784541100054, represented by its HR officer, and the works council through its elected signatory member.
Human resources applies the clause from its 1 November 2026 entry into forceLegifrance. Contribution flows continue unchanged; only the employee's presence status changes. Disputes about maintenance during birth leave now have a written answer: cover continues, the employer pays its part, the employee owes theirs.
