French fixed-term contract (CDD) reclassification

French CDD-to-CDI reclassification: build the evidence first

Reclassification of a French fixed-term contract into a permanent contract depends on specific rules and a complete record, not an online score. Line up each contract, amendment, stated reason, delivery date, renewal, role and period actually worked. Then connect each legal question to the document that proves it or to missing evidence. Official French guidance describes several reclassification cases and the labour-court route. This tool builds the chronology; it does not decide that a CDD must become a CDI.
