Authorisation for dismissal is required for a period of six months for a candidate, in the first or second round, for the position of elected member of the staff delegation of the social and economic committee, from the date of publication of the candidatures. The six-month period runs from the date on which the application is sent to the employer by registered letter.
This authorisation is also required when the employer has received the trade union’s letter notifying the employer of the candidacy for the position of elected member of the staff delegation of the social and economic committee, or when the employee has proved that the employer was aware of the imminence of his candidacy before the candidate was summoned to the interview prior to dismissal.
