In Wallis and Futuna, a French overseas collectivity, the French Labor Code (Code du Travail) governs vacation leave entitlements.

Basic Entitlement

Every employee is entitled to 2.5 working days of paid leave for each month of employment. A "working month" is any period during which the employee has worked for at least some time.

Leave Calculation

Leave accrues throughout the reference year, which runs from June 1st of the previous year to May 31st of the current year. Accrued leave must be taken between June 1st of the current year to May 31st of the following year. Without an exceptional agreement from the employer, unused leave cannot be carried over beyond this period.

Additional Leave

In addition to the basic entitlement, employees may qualify for extra vacation days in certain situations:

• Age-based supplements: Employees over 50 years of age may receive additional days of leave.
• Seniority/Length of Service: Some collective agreements may provide for additional leave based on an employee's tenure with the company.
• Family circumstances: Depending on family status or specific events (e.g., marriage, birth of a child), employees may receive supplementary leave.

Vacation Leave Usage

The dates of vacation leave must be mutually agreed upon by employers and employees. At least 12 continuous working days of leave must be taken during the period from May 1st to October 31st. Employers have the right to split up the remaining leave throughout the year.
