The law of 29 March 2023 on the modification of the
Labour Code introducing a system of protection against moral
harassment in the context of work relations, was published in the
Official Journal this Wednesday, 5 April 2023, and will come into
effect on 9 April 2023.
The law of 29 March 2023 introduces a new chapter VI in the
volume II, title IV of the Labour Code and gives a clear definition
of the concept of moral harassment in the new article L.246-2:
"any conduct which, by its repetition, or its
systematization, harms the dignity or the psychological or physical
integrity of a person."
The article further specifies that "business trips,
professional trainings, communications related to or resulting from
work by any means whatsoever, even outside normal working hours,
are an integral part of the execution of work."
