Sick leave of the staff member

Verified 01 September 2026 - Public Service / (Prime Minister)

You are a civil servant and you are sick or have been victim of a non-occupational accident, which puts you unable to work ? You can be placed on sick leave by your employer administration upon presentation of a work stoppage. We present you the rules applicable to sick leave, according to your public service (State - FPE, territorial - FPT, hospital - FPH).

EPF

If you are in activity or secondment, you may be placed on sick leave (previously called regular sick leave - CMO) when the disease or accident occurred out of working time makes it impossible for you to perform your duties.

To do so, you must send your employer administration a notice of work stoppage.

Work stoppage

To be placed on sick leave, you must send your employer administration a notice of work stoppage within 48 hours who are under the supervision of a physician, dental surgeon or midwife.

This notice of work stoppage shall specify the medical elements and the reasons justifying the work stoppage and its duration.

The duration of the work stoppage may not exceed 31 days for a 1re prescription, unless the doctor, dentist or midwife justifies the need for a longer duration in view of your situation and taking into account any recommendations of the High Authority of Health.

The notice of work stoppage can be dematerialized.

If the notice of work stoppage is not dematerialized, you must transmit to your administration the flaps 2 and 3 the notice of work stoppage. You keep the first part. This component must be presented to the approved physician of the administration, in case of a counter-visit or any other medical examination.

In case of renewal of your work stoppage, you must send your extension to your administration within the same period of 48 hours following the establishment of the work stoppage.

Like the original judgment, the notice of extension specifies the duration of the judgment. The duration of the work stoppage may not exceed 62 days.

Failure to meet the 48-hour deadline

In the event of non-compliance with the 48-hour deadline, your administration will informed by post of the delay observed.

It also informs you that you are exposed to a reducing your compensation in case of new late shipment within 24 months of this 1er late shipment. In the event of a new late dispatch of a work stoppage, the remuneration due between the date of establishment of the new work stoppage and the date of its transmission shall be reduced by half.

The time limit 48 hours shipping time can be exceeded in case of hospitalization.

And if you are unable to meet the 48-hour deadline, excluding hospitalization, you have 8 days following the establishment of the work stoppage to justify this impossibility.

Remuneration items affected by the halving

In case of new late dispatch of a work stoppage, the halving of your remuneration concerns your index treatment gross and your premiums and allowances.

On the other hand, the following remuneration elements continue to be paid to you in full :

  • Residence allowance
  • Family Treatment Supplement (FTS)
  • Partial coverage of the price of the public transit ticket that you use for your commute between home and work
  • Benefits in kind
  • Reimbursement of expenses
  • Premiums and allowances related to change of residence, first-time assignment, geographical mobility and restructuring
  • Premiums and allowances related to the organization of work
  • Teaching or jury allowances and other allowances not directly related to employment
  • Part or all of the premiums and allowances whose modulation depends on the results and the manner of service
  • Exceptional or occasional payments of premiums and allowances corresponding to a single operative event.

The duration of sick leave may be up to one year for a period of 12 consecutive months.

You perceive 90% your gross index treatment for 3 months, then half of your index treatment for 9 months.

The rights to 90% or to 50% of your index treatment are counted, for each day of work stoppage, depending on the days of rest at 90% or to 50% already granted in the previous 365 (or 366) days.

Each work stoppage is subject to a day of deficiency unpaid.

The remuneration is calculated on the basis of 360 thirtieth (30 thirtieth per month whatever the actual number of days in the month).

When you are on sick leave, you can benefit from 90 thirtieth to  90% and from 270 thirtieth to 50%.

When you exceed 90 days at full treatment in the 365-day reference period, you switch to half-treatment for the rest of the sick days, up to a maximum of 270 days.

Example :

If you are placed on sick leave for 3 consecutive months from 20 March to 17 June inclusive (90 calendar days), you perceive 90% of your index treatment for 89 days or thirtieth (90 days - 1 day of deficiency) if you have not already been off work for 90 days paid to 90% since 21 March of the previous year.

The day of absence is not paid, but it is counted as if it were paid sick leave at 90%.

If you have already been placed on sick leave for 60 days since 21 March of the previous year, paid at 90%, you are entitled to 90% of your index treatment for only 30 days or thirtieth.

So you perceive 90% of your index treatment for 30 calendar days corresponding to the period from 20 March to 18 April. However, the 1er day (march 20) is subject to a deduction of 1/30e (day of absence), but it is counted as if it were paid sick leave at 90%.

And, from April 19, you are paid half pay until the end of your work stoppage.

Reminder

The day of absence does not apply on the 2nde work stoppage if you have not returned to work for more than 48 hours between 2 sick days granted for the same condition. This is the case:

  • When the new work stoppage prolongs the previous stoppage and the prescribing doctor ticks the box extension
  • Or when you try to resume your duties and you find yourself forced to stop again 1 or 2 days later
  • Or when you can't see your doctor on a Saturday, Sunday, or weekend holiday for reasons beyond your control.

The new judgment is considered as a relapse and an extension, since there has been no disappearance of the cause of the initial judgment.

The delay of 48 hours, counted in calendar days, starts running from 1er the day after the last day of your initial work stoppage.

Other remuneration items shall be paid under the following conditions:

In case of extension of your initial work stoppage, your remuneration is maintained only if the extension is prescribed by the doctor prescribing the initial discontinuation, by your attending physician, by the midwife or by the dental surgeon, except in the case of justified impossibility on your part.

The extension can only be carried out by a telemedicine procedure if the following conditions are met:

  • This is 1er renewal of your initial work stoppage
  • The duration of the extension does not exceed 3 days and does not have the effect of increasing the duration of your work stoppage already in progress to more than 3 days.

These conditions do not apply when the work stoppage is renewed by your referring doctor or midwife or, in case of justified impossibility, to consult a competent medical professional to obtain, in his presence, an extension of your work stoppage.

Time spent on sick leave is no effect on your rights to advancement (step and grade).

Sick leave does not reduce your entitlement to other leave, including:

Reminder

If you are unable to take your annual leave because of sick leave, part of your annual leave may be postponed under certain conditions.

Periods of sick leave do not entitle you to benefits RTT.

If you are probationary official, sick leave, beyond a certain period, prolongs the duration of your internship.

You can apply for or continue training or a skills assessment to promote your rehabilitation or professional retraining. Your request is subject to the favorable opinion of the medical advice. Your employer administration will decide on your request within 30 days.

Periods of sick leave shall be taken into account for the retirement.

For the early retirement for a long career, sick leave of any kind (ordinary sickness, long-term illness (CLM), long-term (CLD), citis) are taken into account within the limit of 4 quarters.

During your sick leave, you must stop all paid work (except medically ordered and controlled activities for your rehabilitation to employment).

In case of non-compliance with this obligation, your remuneration is no longer paid until you comply with the relevant obligation.

Your employer administration may submit you at any time to a inspection visit by a licensed physician.

You must undergo a check-up by a certified doctor, at least 1 time after 6 consecutive months sick leave.

An approved doctor is a general practitioner or specialist appearing on a list drawn up, in each department, by the prefect, on a proposal from the French regional health authority, after consulting the Departmental Council of the Order of Doctors. The role of a certified physician is to carry out counter-visits and expert assessments.

In case of refusal on your part to submit to these examinations, your remuneration is no longer paid.

If you or your employer's administration dispute the opinion of the registered physician, you may contact the medical advice.

Your administration may also arrange for the administrative control of your work stoppage by any person authorized to do so.

This check concerns your presence at your home, or at your place of rest if different, when outings are not allowed or during the hours of mandatory presence indicated by your doctor on the work stoppage.

In case of unjustified absence or refusal to submit to this administrative control, the payment of your remuneration is interrupted until the end date of your work stoppage.

Periods during which pay is interrupted count towards the current leave period.

Ability to resume previous duties

You are resuming your duties. Your workstation can be adapted to your health condition if necessary.

If you have been on sick leave for 12 consecutive months, you may only resume your work after the medical board has given its favorable opinion.

Throughout the procedure before the medical board, you are provisionally automatically placed on standby for health reasons.

During this period of automatic standby, you will receive compensation equal to the amount of the index salary and, possibly, the premiums and allowances you received at the end of your sick leave.

This allowance is paid to you until the date of the decision to resume service.

When the medical board's examination of your file requires the expertise of a certified physician, you must submit to this medical examination. If you refuse, the compensation ceases to be paid to you.

In case of refusal to join the workstation(s) offered to you without a valid reason related to your state of health, you can be licensed after obtaining the opinion of the Joint Administrative Commission.

Placing on long-term sick leave (LWOP)

If you have a condition that can lead to long-term sick leave (LWOP), you can apply to be placed in a CLM in progress or at the end of your sick leave entitlements.

You can be placed in CLM if you have a disease listed on a list established by decree.

This list is not exhaustive: a CLM may be granted for other diseases after consulting the medical board.

Inability to resume previous duties

If you are unable to return to your previous duties at the end of your sick leave, your situation is referred to the medical board. It varies depending on whether you are a regular or a trainee public servant:

Incumbent

If you are unable to return to duty at the end of your sick leave, you can:

  • Either be reclassified to a job compatible with your health
  • Either be admitted to benefit from a preparation period for reclassification : the purpose of the reclassification preparation period is to prepare you and, if necessary, to qualify you for new functions compatible with your state of health
  • Either be placed in office availability if the medical board determines that your health condition may change favorably
  • Either be admitted to the disability pension regardless of your age and number of quarters of retirement insurance, if you are found permanently unfit for any job.

Throughout the procedure before the medical board, you are provisionally automatically placed on standby for health reasons.

During this period of temporary automatic standby, you receive an allowance equal to the amount of the index salary and, possibly, the bonuses and allowances you received at the end of the last period of long-term sick leave.

This allowance is paid to you until the date of the decision to reclassify, lay off or retire.

When the medical board's examination of your file requires the expertise of a certified physician, you must submit to this medical examination. If you refuse, the compensation ceases to be paid to you.

If the medical board proposes your placement on standby for health reasons, the compensation paid to you during the period of investigation of your file remains with you.

In case of reclassification to a job compatible with your health, if you reject the proposed position(s) without a valid reason related to your state of health, you can be licensed after obtaining the opinion of the Joint Administrative Commission.

Trainee civil servant

If you are unable to resume your service at the end of your CLM, you can:

  • Either be placed in unpaid leave during a maximum period of one year renewable 2 times if the medical board determines that your health condition may change favorably. The renewal is pronounced on the opinion of the medical council
  • Either be licensed if you are recognized in the definitive and absolute impossibility of resuming his duties.

If you were seconded for internship and are a holder in another body or framework of jobs, your secondment for internship is terminated and you are put at the disposal of your home administration.

In your home administration, your situation is examined according to the rules applicable to the incumbent civil servant.

You can apply for training or a skills assessment or to practice an activity that promotes your rehabilitation or professional retraining.

Periods of sick leave shall be taken into account for the retirement.

For the early retirement for a long career, sick leave of any kind (ordinary sickness, long-term illness (CLM), long-term (CLD), citis) are taken into account within the limit of 4 quarters.

During your sick leave, you must stop all paid work (except medically ordered and controlled activities for your rehabilitation to employment).

In case of non-compliance with this obligation, your remuneration is no longer paid until you comply with the relevant obligation.

Your employer administration may submit you at any time to a inspection visit by a licensed physician.

You must undergo a check-up by a certified doctor, at least 1 time after 6 consecutive months sick leave.

An approved doctor is a general practitioner or specialist appearing on a list drawn up, in each department, by the prefect, on a proposal from the French regional health authority, after consulting the Departmental Council of the Order of Doctors. The role of a certified physician is to carry out counter-visits and expert assessments.

In case of refusal on your part to submit to these examinations, your remuneration is no longer paid.

If you or your employer's administration dispute the opinion of the registered physician, you may contact the medical advice.

Your administration may also arrange for the administrative control of your work stoppage by any person authorized to do so.

This check concerns your presence at your home, or at your place of rest if different, when outings are not allowed or during the hours of mandatory presence indicated by your doctor on the work stoppage.

In case of unjustified absence or refusal to submit to this administrative control, the payment of your remuneration is interrupted until the end date of your work stoppage.

Periods during which pay is interrupted count towards the current leave period.
