As part of the strengthening of its capabilities or in pursuit of a higher level of qualification, any employee can participate in a training course, a research and innovation activity, or a teaching activity. To do this, they must request permission from their employer to engage in this type of occupation. If the permission has been granted, it will be said that they benefit from an individual training leave (CIF).
The CIF can also allow the employee to change their activity or profession or simply to prepare for and take an exam to obtain a diploma. The implementation of this leave is subject to prior provisions that must be taken into account.

Conditions to be met to benefit from the CIF
- Seniority
To benefit from the CIF, the requesting employee must justify a seniority of 2 consecutive years or not as an employee, with at least 12 months in their current organization. This condition differs slightly if it is a craft business with fewer than 10 employees. The required seniority in this case will be three years. However, emphasis is placed on the employee under fixed-term contracts. The two years of seniority for this employee must be verified over the last five years with four months of work, consecutive or not, in the last twelve months.
- Leave request
The employee who wishes to benefit from the CIF must send a request for authorization of absence to their employer. It is advisable that this request be sent by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt. It must indicate the title, date, and duration of the training as well as the organization that provides it. To justify this information, a certificate of enrollment should be attached to your letter. You will find a template for a leave request letter containing all the aforementioned information on the site www.document-gratuit.fr which you can download and personalize for free.

Now that you have your leave request drafted, it must be submitted to the employer 4 months before the start of a leave lasting more than 6 months and 2 months before the start of a leave lasting less than 6 months.
Duration of the leave
Regulatory provisions state that the duration of a CIF cannot exceed 1 year for full-time training and 1200 hours for part-time training.
Employee status during training
During the duration of the CIF, it is considered that the employee is still working. As a result, although their employment contract is suspended, the employee’s leave is paid in full and they also benefit from all social security advantages. However, for an employee whose gross salary exceeds €2,960.53, the remuneration paid to them per month is either 80% of the gross salary prior to leave for leaves of less than 1 year or less than 1200 hours, or 60% of the gross salary in the other case.
