When the employer is considering imposing a penalty, he will summon the employee and specify the purpose of the summons, unless the penalty being considered is a warning or a penalty of the same nature that has no impact, whether immediate or otherwise, on the employee’s presence in the company, position, career or remuneration.
During the hearing, the employee may be assisted by a company employee of his or her choice.
During the interview, the employer will state the reason for the proposed sanction and will hear the employee’s explanations.
The penalty may not be imposed less than two working days or more than one month after the date set for the interview. Reasons are given and the employee is notified.
