🇬🇧 English

This order makes a sector-level employee profit-sharing agreement mandatory for employers and employees covered by France’s national collective agreement for training organizations. It means training providers within that collective bargaining scope must apply the June 2025 agreement on setting up a participation scheme, subject to several legal safeguards. The order clarifies how workforce thresholds must be counted, how employees on partial activity should be treated when calculating distribution, and how information must be shared with employees when there is no works council. Employers in the sector should check whether they fall within the covered scope and align their participation arrangements with the extended agreement.
