Subsection 2: Approval

Decisions to grant approval, change the collective agreement and withdraw approval for an employers’ group may be appealed to the authority referred to in article R. 1253-12 within one month of notification of the contested decision.

The administrative authority to which an appeal is lodged has fifteen days from the date of referral to make its decision.

Where the monitoring of compliance with labour regulations by members of the grouping is the responsibility of several administrative authorities, the decision is taken by the Regional Director of Enterprises, Competition, Consumption, Labour and Employment after agreement by these authorities.

The decision is notified to the applicant by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt within one month of receipt of the appeal. If no notification is received within this period, the appeal is deemed to have been rejected.
