In an emergency, the employer may exceed the maximum daily working time on his own responsibility, in the cases envisaged in article D. 3121-4.
If the employer has not yet submitted a request to exceed the maximum daily working time, he shall immediately submit a request for regularisation to the Labour Inspector, accompanied by the supporting documents and opinions mentioned in article D. 3121-5 and any necessary explanations as to the reasons why the daily working time had to be extended without prior authorisation.
If he is awaiting a response to a request to exceed the daily working time, he shall immediately inform the Labour Inspector of the obligation to anticipate the expected decision and give the reasons for this.
The Labour Inspector will notify the employer and employee representatives of his decision within fifteen days of receipt of the request.
