When the duration of the employee’s absence from work justified by incapacity resulting from illness or accident, as certified by a medical certificate and a second medical examination if necessary, is longer than a period set by decree, the suspension of the employment contract does not prevent the organisation of a liaison meeting between the employee and the employer, involving the occupational health and prevention service.
The purpose of this meeting is to inform the employee that he/she can benefit from measures to prevent professional exclusion, including those provided for inarticle L. 323-3-1 of the Social Security Code, the pre-reinstatement examination provided for in article L. 4624-2-4 of this Code and the measures provided for in article L. 4624-3.
It is organised at the initiative of the employer or the employee. The employer shall inform the employee that he may request this meeting to be organised. No consequences may be drawn from the employee’s refusal to attend this meeting.
