Staff of the Établissement français du sang who volunteer for short-notice cover receive a flat indemnityLegifrance
Legifrance from 1 October 2026
Legifrance
Legifrance under the accord signed at Saint-Denis on 30 September 2026
Legifrance by the FO, SNTS CFE-CGC and UNSA unions
Legifrance. Concluded for an indefinite period, it permanently replaces the experimental scheme created on 26 June 2024 and in force from 1 October 2024 to 30 September 2026, reviewed mid-term in December 2025 and again in June 2026. It covers all private-law staff plus seconded civil servants across every occupation, with loaned staff included subject to their own rules, and supersedes every prior provision with the same object.
A replacement counts as short-notice when management proposes it to hourly-scheduled staff less than seven calendar days aheadLegifrance, seven working days for night workers
Legifrance: a workday missing from the forecast schedule, or a start- or end-of-shift change of four hours or more against the plan, to cover an unexpectedly absent colleague
Legifrance. For on-call staff, an on-call period missing from the forecast schedule with less than seven calendar days' notice qualifies. Accepting the cover changes the volunteer's forecast schedule.
Only staff who have registered as volunteers may be contacted outside working hoursLegifrance, using the personal contact details they supplied; where possible, cover is sought first during working time from anyone available. A volunteer may simply not answer an out-of-hours call, personal data is handled under GDPR rules, and anyone may leave the volunteer list at any time by writing to site HR, which deletes their details. The service picks whom to call so as to limit the impact on forecast schedules, applying fairness across staff, and cover never pushes working time beyond the daily and weekly maxima or cuts into daily and weekly rest
Legifrance.
The scheme operates in eight activities, and only where an absence threatens continuityLegifrance: IH and delivery-distribution, collection, preparation, quality control, qualification biologique du don, HLA, cell therapy and care. Each accepted short-notice replacement earns €33.31 gross from Monday to Saturday
Legifrance and €49.95 gross on Sundays and public holidays
Legifrance. Use is reviewed yearly by activity and site, counting replacements and indemnities paid.
