Frequently asked questions
- Can it be challenged?
- Within six months of signing (Code du travail L1234-20); after that it discharges the employer, but only for the sums it lists.
- Is this legal advice?
- No, it is a template.
- Can I type the amounts the English way?
- Yes. 1 850,00, 1850.00 and 1,850.00 are all read as the same sum. The receipt prints them the French way, 1 850,00 €, and writes the total out in French words.
- What if I leave the sums empty?
- The receipt then lists the usual headings with blank amounts — Salaire du dernier mois, Indemnité compensatrice de congés payés, Indemnité compensatrice de préavis, Indemnité de licenciement — and a blank total, all to fill in by hand.
- Is what I type uploaded?
- No. The PDF is made in your browser.
