The Social and Economic Committee has legal personality and manages its own assets. It is chaired by the employer or his representative, who may be assisted by three members of staff in an advisory capacity. The committee appoints a secretary and a treasurer from among its full members.
The Social and Economic Committee shall determine, in its internal regulations, the terms and conditions of its operation and of its relations with the employees of the undertaking, for the performance of the duties conferred upon it by Chapter II of this Title. Except with the agreement of the employer, the internal regulations may not contain clauses imposing on it obligations which do not result from legal provisions. This agreement…
The employer provides the social and economic committee with suitable premises and the equipment it needs to carry out its duties.
The Social and Economic Committee may organise internal staff information meetings in the premises made available to it, particularly on topical issues. The committee may invite outside personalities, trade unions or others, under the conditions set out in articles L. 2142-10 and L. 2142-11. These meetings take place outside the participants’ working time. However, members of the Social and Economic Committee staff delegation may meet during their delegation time.
At least four Social and Economic Committee meetings a year deal in whole or in part with the Committee’s responsibilities in the areas of health, safety and working conditions, and more frequently if necessary, particularly in industries presenting particular risks. The committee is also convened following any accident which has had or may have had serious consequences, or in the event of a serious event linked to the company’s activities,…
In the absence of the agreement provided for in article 2312-19, in undertakings with at least three hundred employees, the social and economic committee meets at least once a month, convened by the employer or his representative. In companies with fewer than three hundred employees, the committee meets at least once every two months. The committee may hold a second meeting at the request of the majority of its members.
The agenda for each meeting of the Social and Economic Committee is drawn up by the Chairman and the Secretary. Consultations made compulsory by law or regulation or by a collective labour agreement are automatically included on the agenda by the chairman or secretary.
The agenda for Social and Economic Committee meetings is sent by the Chairman to the Committee members, to the Labour Inspectorate official referred to in Article L. 8112-1 and to the Social Security bodies’ prevention services official at least three days before the meeting.
When the Social and Economic Committee meets at the request of the majority of its members, the questions attached to the request to convene the meeting are included on the agenda.
Resolutions of the Social and Economic Committee are passed by a majority of the members present. The chairman of the social and economic committee does not take part in the vote when he consults the elected members of the committee as a staff delegation.
