French term or phrase: Le N+1 du salarié
Hello!

Does anyone know what the term 'N+1' means in relation to employers/employees?

The only references I can find are related to income tax, and I don't think that fits the bill here:

'Le N+1 du salarié et le CDM doivent en être informés'

and again:

'Test passé sur la mission, supervisé par le N+1'.

It comes in a powerpoint presentation explaining the application process for someone who applies to work overseas for an organisation based in their home country.

Many thanks for your help

Explanation:
We've had this before in KudoZ!

It means 'the next one up the hierarchical ladder', which in mlany contexts woulkd be referred to as 'line manager' — or 'immediate superior' in not-so-PC old fashioned speak
