Special leave

CCFC – Subject to a limit of ten days, any exceptional leave granted to an employee in connection with family events directly affecting their own household may not be deducted from their accrued leave entitlement. However, special leave granted in addition to public holidays may be deducted if the days granted have not been compensated for or made up.

Family events

- The employee’s marriage (2 days’ leave)

- Death of a spouse, son, father or mother of the spouse (2 days’ leave)

- Death of a direct relative (brothers and sisters) or a direct step-relative (1 day’s leave)

- Marriage of a son, brother or sister (1 day’s leave)

- Christening of an employee’s child (3 days’ leave).

Leave granted on the occasion of a birth gives rise to the payment of an allowance under the conditions laid down by the Social Security Code.

Note: The duration of special leave for family events may vary from one collective agreement to another.
