Multiple jobs in France: working hours

To examine multiple salaried jobs in France, bring all employers’ hours into one record. Daily limits, weekly limits and averages over a period are different checks; the 35-hour week is not the general maximum. This counter adds entered hours and identifies missing information without deciding that the combination is lawful or automatically applying an exception.
