Public employment and ethics · France and Switzerland : separate country-labelled rules
Public employee accident: status, insurance and leave
A public employee's accident file needs the status, employer, incident, notification and claimed work connection. France's service-accident and CITIS framework differs from Swiss accident insurance and public-employer pay rules. The evidence map keeps recognition, leave and benefits separate without treating every workplace injury as automatically accepted or applying French public-service terminology to a Swiss claim.
