Article L4623-5 of the French Labour Code

An occupational physician may only be dismissed with the authorisation of the Labour Inspector responsible for the Occupational Health and Prevention Department, after obtaining the opinion of the Labour Inspector. However, in the event of serious misconduct, the employer may lay off the employee immediately pending the final decision. If dismissal is refused, the lay-off is cancelled and its effects automatically terminated.

Article L4623-5

Le licenciement d’un médecin du travail ne peut intervenir qu’après autorisation de l’inspecteur du travail dont dépend le service de prévention et de santé au travail, après avis du médecin inspecteur du travail. Toutefois, en cas de faute grave, l’employeur peut prononcer la mise à pied immédiate de l’intéressé dans l’attente de la décision définitive. En cas de refus de licenciement, la mise à pied est annulée et ses effets supprimés de plein droit.
