Judicial termination of employment in France
Judicial termination asks a court to decide whether an employment contract should end because of alleged employer breaches. It differs from an employee announcing an immediate termination themselves. Prepare the contract, disputed obligations and a dated factual record. Continuing duties and later developments in the employment relationship need professional assessment while the claim is being considered.
