An action for the recovery of wages or payments incidental to wages that were unduly paid or made is covered by the specific rules for quasi-contracts and is not subject to the abridged limitation period of 3 years or of 5 years laid down in Articles 2277 of the Civil Code and L.221-2 of the Labour Code, which relate only to an action for payment of remuneration brought by an employee against his employer, but rather the 30-year limitation period under Article 2262 of the Civil Code.
