As of 1 January 2023, Saturday, in principle, will no longer be considered a working day under the provisions of the new Civil Code.
However, a law of 26 December 2022 neutralises these provisions in labour law, social security law and social assistance.
A brief overview of the situation
Saturday is considered a working day:
Under the provisions of the new Civil Code (book 1, art. 1.7), Saturday is no longer considered a working day.
Given the significant impact of this change if applied in labour law and in the various branches of social security and social assistance, the legislator intervened to guarantee legal certainty.
In practical terms, the law of 26 December 2022 provides that these provisions of the new Civil Code do not apply to these matters.
Consequently, Saturday remains a working day in the regulation:
