Chapter II: Dismissal for personal reasons

Employers are reimbursed by the State for the salaries maintained during the employee adviser’s absences to carry out his duties, as well as the corresponding benefits and social security charges.

The employer grants the employee adviser, at the latter’s request, leave of absence for training purposes. These authorisations are granted up to a maximum of two weeks per three-year period following the publication of the list of employee advisors on which the employee advisor is registered. The provisions of articles L. 2145-5 to L. 2145-10 and L. 2145-12, relating to economic, social, environmental and trade union training leave, are applicable…

The employee adviser is bound by professional secrecy in all matters relating to manufacturing processes. They are bound by an obligation of discretion with regard to information of a confidential nature and given as such by the employer. Any breach of this obligation may result in the removal of the person concerned from the list of advisers by the administrative authority.

The performance of the employee adviser’s duties may not be a reason for termination of the employment contract. Dismissal of an employee adviser is subject to the administrative authorisation procedure set out in Book IV of Part Two.
