Teleworking (télétravail) refers to any form of work organization in which work that could have been performed at the employer's premises is voluntarily performed outside the employer's premises using information technology.
In a ruling dated March 19, 2025 (No. 22-17.315), published in the Bulletin, the Court of Cassation affirmed that the occupation of an employee's home for professional purposes constitutes an interference with their private life, and that employees are entitled to compensation in this regard when professional premises are not actually made available to them or when it has been agreed that the work will be performed by teleworking.
The action for payment of this compensation, which compensates for the hardship resulting from this method of performance of the employment contract, is subject to the two-year time limit set out in Article L. 1471-1, paragraph 1, of the French Labor Code.
