reprise de temps

Human Resources
collective agreements
This "reprise de temps" is a mechanism designed to ensure that an employee on leave with "wage protection" is not overcompensated if he puts in a few hours of work for his employer during that time. The employee will have to make up the hours to the union. I need to find a tidy English term for this. Thanks!

making up time
this was a long shot (inspired by your comment) but it actually gets a few g hits when I typed in "the employee has to make up time".

Re Rafael's questions below: I have no idea whether the French term is being used in place of something else, nor do I know to what extent 'recup of hours' is used in collective agrements. My experience of these matters - in both French and English - is that of a former employee of UK, Belgian and Swiss employers, and my answer is based on what I recall having read in my own employment contracts. I have no expertise in HR and related matters.

Note from asker:
| Thanks very much for your answer! Do you know whether the French term in question being used in place of a more widely accepted term? And do you know how widely the term "recuperation of hours" is used in collective agreements? |

reimburse the time

: this appears to be exactly the opposite of what Rafael's text is saying - it is not the employee who is being "reimbursed", it is the employer & union

compensatory time

What is compensatory time?
Compensatory time, also known as comp time, is the practice of employers giving employees paid time off to balance out hours the employee worked beyond their regular schedule. Compensatory time is intended for occasional use as a response to irregular overtime hours. Some companies have regulated compensatory time policies to accommodate flexible work scheduling, while others use it as a case-by-case solution to unexpected schedule changes.
