neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: "conventional" in the original means "contractual"; "conventional" in English means "usual", which can even be extended to "customary". Something which is customary and/or usual may be far removed from something which is contractual.

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: A fairly new idea now encated in French legislation, quite recently in fact. "Contract of employment" rather than "employment agreement".
