During the hearing, the employee may be assisted by a person of his choice from among the company’s staff.
Where there are no staff representative bodies in the company, the employee may be assisted either by a person of his choice from among the company’s staff, or by an employee adviser chosen from a list drawn up by the administrative authority.
The letter convening the employee to the preliminary interview mentions the possibility of having recourse to an advisor and specifies the address of the departments where the list of advisors is kept available to employees.
