An employer who does not come under a sector covered by one of the decisions provided for in articles R. 3121-13 and R. 3121-14 may, in order to deal with exceptional situations specific to his company, request special authorisation.
This request must be substantiated and sent, together with the opinion of the social and economic committee, if any, to the labour inspector who forwards it to the regional director of companies, competition, consumption, labour and employment.
The latter takes its decision in the light of a report drawn up by the inspector indicating, in particular, whether the situation of the applicant company is such as to justify the granting of authorisation.
