The French Supreme Court has given a surprisingly liberal ruling in a case where the working locations and hours of an employee were unilaterally modified by her employer. The employee concerned had been required to work at two sites in the afternoon instead of one site in the morning. According to the Court the introduction of new working arrangements falls within the legitimate managerial authority of an employer. An employee’s right to a personal and family life may only be asserted where that right is excessively undermined (Cass.Soc, 3 Nov 2011, no 10-14.702).
