Congés Intempéries BTP: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how construction workers in France can receive compensation for workdays lost due to severe weather conditions.
This scheme provides financial compensation to workers in the construction sector when severe weather makes it impossible to work.
Who it's for
This is designed for all workers employed within the BTP (construction) sector.
What you get
You receive compensation for the days you are unable to work because bad weather has prevented progress on the job site. This is often referred to as weather-related unemployment.
What it costs you
There is no direct cost to the employee to access this support. However, your employer is required to officially declare the weather stoppage for the compensation to be processed.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that you cannot claim this yourself by simply noting the weather; the stoppage must be officially declared by your site manager.
How to apply
- Confirm with your site manager that the weather stoppage has been officially declared.
- Ensure your employer submits the necessary paperwork to the relevant fund.
- Monitor your pay to ensure the compensation is reflected correctly.
