The dismissal of an employee is cancelled if, within fifteen days of being notified of the dismissal, the person concerned sends his employer, under conditions determined by regulation, a certificate proving the arrival in his home, within fifteen days, of a child placed with a view to adoption. This certificate is issued by the administrative authority or by the authorised adoption body that placed the child.
These provisions do not apply if the employee is dismissed for serious misconduct unrelated to the adoption or because it is impossible to maintain the employment contract for a reason unrelated to the adoption.
