2nd week of classes... About the working conditions in France.

In my second week of classes my teacher was Steve Kruse, he spoke about the working conditions in France. Which was very interesting because we learned that there are 5 main types of work contracts and each of them must to leave reflected the conditions of employment.

These are;

Contract of indefinite duration-CDI

Fixed-term contract of CDD

Temporary employment contract

Working part-time contract

Intermittent employment

In this respect it is very similar to Mexico.

The French system is usually very protective with regard to termination of employment, protective of its employees. It may be the case that the employer proposes some changes in working conditions, including working hours, location or salary. This changes must be communicated to the employee by registered letter. From the reception has a period of one month to accept or not accept the changes and manifest, if the nonconformity. If the delay has not been informed of the decision, the terms will be accepted.

Otherwise, if the nonconformity is found, the employer will have to accept the decision chosen by the employee.

On the other hand, regarding the salary Mexico and France is very different. We have a minimum wage in Mexico is by day, it is $ 67.29 pesos. If we translate into hours is a $8.4 pesos. With 40 hours laboral week. While in France, the minimum wage is 8 €. With a 35 hours laboral week.

The latter information was really shocking for everyone.

Steve Kruse with all the group.
