Compensatory work is unpaid work that a citizen, unable to pay a fine, voluntarily agrees to perform. These hours of work are performed for the benefit of non-profit organizations or municipalities.
The number of hours of work to be done is proportional to the amount of the fine, to which is added the accumulated costs. The number of hours to be worked is based on an equivalence table established by the Code of Penal Procedure.
The representative of the referral agency is responsible for determining the nature and terms of the work to be performed. He or she establishes a "work plan" with the citizen, taking into account, as much as possible, the citizen's knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as the needs of the host organizations. This work plan is used to specify where, when and how the citizen will perform his or her compensatory work. More often than not, the work is performed during the week during the organizations' regular business hours.
