congès compensatoires
Explanation:
I understand this as meaning 'the time you get through "time off in lieu"'.

Can't see why they would NOT be able to use it for study, though — since it is by definition their own time!

agree  Daryo: given the ST is in EN (yes, it's rather obvious, but still gets ignored) that would be the intended meaning: "in lieu" as used in UK.
46 mins
  -> Merci, Daryo ! Yes, "time off in lieu" aka "TOIL"
neutral  GILLES MEUNIER: N'est-ce pas plutôt le mot 'leave' qui va être traduit par congés ?
2 hrs
  -> We are talking about time-off-in-lieu, which is a form of 'leave' (cf. congès maternité etc.)

neutral  Daryo: you think French laws apply in UK?

agree  Victoria Britten

agree  Sheila Wilson: The exact same principle applies in the two countries. If this is the term gouv.fr uses, it can't be far wrong.
