🇬🇧 English

This French decree makes mandatory the provisions of Amendment No. 02-25 on 'Providence' (prévision social / welfare benefits) dated 10 October 2025 to the 1983 National Collective Agreement for social and family link professionals. The amendment is extended to all employers and employees covered by the agreement. Certain discriminatory wording in Article 3.1 of Chapter XIII regarding marital or partnership status ('non remarié', 'non marié non pacsé', 'non repacsé ou marié') is explicitly excluded from the extension because it violates the principle of equality. The extension is granted subject to the hierarchy of norms under Article L. 2253-1 of the Labour Code, meaning branch-level agreements prevail over company agreements unless the latter provide at least equivalent guarantees.
