Chapter II: Integration through economic activity

After consulting the Conseil départemental de l’insertion par l’activité économique, and taking into account the quality of the proposed integration project and the existing offer to ensure a balanced development of integration actions, the Prefect may enter into the agreements provided for in article L. 5132-2 with companies applying to be approved as integration companies, whatever their legal form, contributing to the professional integration of the people mentioned in article…

The agreement may be concluded for a maximum period of three years with structures showing prospects of economic viability; it may be renewed under the same procedure. The financial provisions of multi-year agreements are set out in annual amendments. Each year, the organisation submits its annual accounts to the Prefect, along with an activity report detailing, in the case of integration employees or prisoners who have signed a prison employment…

The Prefect monitors performance of the agreement. At the employer’s request, the Prefect will provide any information needed to check that the agreement is being properly implemented, and that the integration measures being implemented are actually being carried out and that the results are being achieved.

If the employer fails to comply with the provisions of the agreement, the Prefect will inform the employer by registered letter of his intention to terminate the agreement. The employer is given a period of not less than one month in which to make its observations known. The Prefect may then demand repayment of any sums wrongly received.

Where financial assistance is obtained as a result of false declarations or where the agreement is misused, the Prefect shall terminate the agreement after observing the procedure set out in article R. 5132-5. Any sums unduly received will then be repaid.
