**Title:** “Is June 6th a paid holiday? A thorough overview of the rules surrounding the Monday of Pentecôte”

As June 6th approaches, many employees are left wondering whether they will have to work or enjoy a paid holiday. With the Monday of Pentecôte falling on this date, it’s essential to understand the rules surrounding this festive day.

According to the French government, the Monday of Pentecôte is a non-mandatory holiday, meaning that employees are not required to work, but it’s not necessarily paid either. However, employers may choose to give their employees a paid day off, depending on the company’s policies.

In some cases, employers may require employees to work on this day, especially if they are engaged in essential services. Additionally, some services, such as public administration, schools, and hospitals, may remain open on this day.

But what about employees who are required to work on this day? Do they receive overtime pay? While there is no law requiring overtime pay for working on a non-mandatory holiday, some collective bargaining agreements may provide for extra compensation.

In recent years, the concept of “day of solidarity” has gained popularity, allowing employees to take their paid holiday on a different day, such as a Friday or a Monday. This option is not available on May 1st, however, as it is a mandatory holiday.

In conclusion, while June 6th is not a mandatory holiday, it’s not necessarily a paid day off either. Employers and employees should be aware of their company’s policies and negotiate their rights accordingly.
