This is a boilerplate template, not legal advice. French employment, consumer-protection and data-protection law (Code du travail, Convention collective HCR "CCN HCR", Code de la consommation, RGPD/CNIL, Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 "INCO") is highly procedural, includes fixed statutory calendars (e.g. the entretien préalable and rupture conventionnelle timelines) and changes frequently — statutory figures (SMIC, grille HCR, sanction amounts) are re-indexed periodically. Have this document reviewed and adapted by a French employment/legal advisor (avocat en droit du travail / expert-comptable) and verified against the current rates before use. Under the loi Toubon (Law No. 94-665 of 4 August 1994), documents intended for use in France — employment contracts, consumer information, mandatory workplace notices — must be available in French; where a French-language version of this document is also used, that version prevails in case of conflict.
