French term or phrase: programme indicatif de modulation
I am providing two different passages for context. My sense is this has to do with the "changing work calendar"? both examples are taken from a part of the labor agreement dealing with vacation time.

"Pour la détermination du nombre de jours de congés pris pour la cinquième semaine et les congés d'ancienneté, constituent des jours ouvrés les jours qui auraient dû être effectivement travaillés par référence au programme indicatif de modulation éventuellement réactualisé."

"Après information et discussion en réunion de Comité d'Etablissement les dates seront fixées chaque année par la Direction dans le programme indicatif de modulation et devront être communiquées aux salariés comme spécifié dans le point a) de l'article 5.1.3 du présent accord."

neutral  mchd: cela correspond à l'horaire normal de 35 heures ! Ici, il est question d'une "modulation" de l'horaire normal de 35 heures
1 hr
  -> I was referring to the work pattern that makes up those hours, mchd, i.e. not 5*7h but more varied

alternative work schedule program


Explanation:
this is the closest equivalent I can think of in English

for an explanation: http://www.cneap.fr/modulation-temps-travail.html

and English example: http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/reference...

there are tons of Google hits for Alternative Work Schedule, and this might work here, even though in your example it seems more "employer driven"

"variable work hour program" would be another option:
