French term
en forfait jours

Pour les salariés qui ne sont pas en forfait jours, dans le cadre de la gestion du ..........., la valorisation monétaire retenue d’une journée était de 8 heures.
I understand that 'en forfait jours' refers to a contractual arrangement whereby the employee works an agreed number of days per year. Is this right and is there a standard and concise way of expressing this?

package agreement on annual working days
The term "forfait en [...] jours" appears in the French Labour Code at Article 3121-64.
The English version of a case at the European Council of Rights, at https://rm.coe.int/cc149-2017-piece-n-1-complaint/1680761680 , uses the term "package agreement on annual working days"- see page 10.
However, it's not very concise...

: The system encompasses much more than just being paid on a daily rate and this is situation where a literal translation leaves too much unsaid. It needs to be fleshed out and this does just that

on a daily rate
It usually means "paid on a 'per day' basis, irrespective of the number of hours actually worked".
This makes sense in your context, since the number of hours per day doesn't apply if you're on a 'daily rate', but if not, as here, it is necessary to define the number of hours in a 'normal' day, in order to be able to correctly calculate the salary, leave entitlement, etc.
