Your seniority is calculated up to the date the letter of notification of the dismissal is sent.

It is calculated taking into account all your contracts, including in the case of interruption between 2 contracts if the interruption did not exceed 4 months and is not due to your resignation.

The subsequent periods of unpaid leave shall not be taken into account in calculating your seniority:

  • Unpaid sick leave
  • Parental Leave
  • Leave to travel overseas or abroad for the adoption of one or more children
  • Leave to raise a child under the age of 12
  • Leave to care for a dependent child, spouse or partner of Civil partnerships: titleContent or to a ascendant following an accident or serious illness or a disability requiring the presence of a third person
  • Leave to follow your spouse or Civil partnership partner who is forced to relocate for work reasons
  • Leave for personal reasons
  • Leave to create or resume a company
  • Mobility leave.

The notice shall commence on the date of submission of the letter of termination.

Termination Certificate

The administration will give you a certificate that contains only the following information:

  • Contract Start and End Dates
  • Functions held, hierarchical category to which they belong and the duration of their performance
  • If applicable, periods of leave not treated as periods of actual work.

Is the contractor entitled to severance pay in the event of professional incompetence?

You are entitled to severance pay unless you are in one of the following situations:

  • You have reached the minimum retirement age and you're entitled to a full-rate pension
  • You are a seconded civil servant as a contractor
  • You immediately find a similar job in one of the three public services or in a business of mixed economy.
Amount of compensation

The severance pay shall be equal to:

  • One-quarter of last net remuneration that you received during the calendar month before the end date of your contract for each of your first 12 years of service
  • 1/6e of the same remuneration for each of the following years.

If you were on a fixed-term contract, the number of years taken into account cannot exceed the number of months remaining until the scheduled end date of your contract.

The amount of severance pay may not exceed 12 times the remuneration on which it is based.

If you perceive family treatment supplement and overtime allowances, these 2 elements of pay are not taken into account in the remuneration used as the basis for calculating the severance pay.

If you work part-time, the severance pay is calculated on the basis of your full-time remuneration.

If you are on sick leave and no longer receive your full salary or if you are on leave without pay, the index salary used to calculate severance pay is your last full salary.

If you have the minimum retirement age without justifying the number of quarters required to qualify for a full-rate pension, the amount of your severance pay is reduced by 1.67% per month of service beyond the minimum retirement age.

Seniority calculation

Your seniority is counted from the date your contract was originally concluded until the effective date of your termination, taking into account your remaining annual leave entitlements and the duration of the notice period.

If you have had more than one CSD successive without interruption with the same employer administration, the initial date taken into account is the start date of your 1er contract. The same is true in case of interruption between 2 contracts if the interruption did not exceed 2 months and is not due to your resignation.

The subsequent periods of unpaid leave shall not be taken into account in calculating your seniority:

  • Unpaid sick leave
  • Parental Leave
  • Leave to travel overseas or abroad for the adoption of one or more children
  • Leave to raise a child under the age of 12
  • Leave to care for a dependent child, spouse or partner of Civil partnerships: titleContent or to a ascendant following an accident or serious illness or a disability requiring the presence of a third person
  • Leave to follow your spouse or Civil partnership partner who is forced to relocate for work reasons
  • Leave for personal reasons
  • Leave to create or resume a company
  • Mobility leave.

Any period of part-time work shall be counted in proportion to the amount of work carried out.

Any portion of services greater than or equal to 6 months is counted for one year. Any fraction of services less than 6 months is not considered.

The severance pay is paid to you in one installment.

It shall be subject to social contributions, CSG: titleContent, CRDS: titleContent and is taxable on income.

You can take advantage of unemployment benefits if you qualify.

In what case can the agent be dismissed?

You may be terminated if you refuse the contract offered to you when transferring an activity.

When the activity carried out by your employer administration is taken over by another public administration, the new public employer offers you a fixed-term or indefinite contract, depending on whether you are on a fixed-term or a fixed-term contract.

The contract proposed to you includes the substantive clauses of your previous contract, in particular those concerning your remuneration, unless a law, decree or the general conditions of remuneration and employment of the new public employer contain provisions to the contrary.

Services performed within your home employer administration are treated as services performed within the host employer administration.

If you refuse the contract offered to you by the new public employer, your refusal will automatically result in the termination of your current contract.

The new public employer who resumes the activity must pay you a severance pay.

If you are on a DTA, only one DTA can be offered.

Services performed within your home department are treated as services performed within the host department.

If you refuse the contract offered to you, your refusal automatically results in the end of your current contract.

If you were on a fixed-term contract, the number of years taken into account cannot exceed the number of months remaining until the scheduled end date of your contract.

Your seniority is counted from the date your contract was originally entered into until its end date.
