I. – When they are recruited, employees are informed that every two years they will have a professional interview with their employer to discuss their career development prospects, particularly in terms of qualifications and employment. This interview does not cover the evaluation of the employee’s work. This interview also includes information relating to the validation of acquired experience, the activation by the employee of his personal training account, the contributions to this account that the employer is likely to finance and professional development advice.
This professional interview, which gives rise to the drafting of a document, a copy of which is given to the employee, is systematically offered to employees who return to work at the end of maternity leave, parental education leave, family carer’s leave, adoption leave, sabbatical leave, a period of secure voluntary mobility mentioned in article L. 1222-12, a period of part-time work within the meaning of article L. 1225-47 of this Code, a long-term sick leave as provided for in article L. 324-1 of the Social Security Code or at the end of a trade union mandate. This interview may take place, on the employee’s initiative, at a date prior to the resumption of work.
II – Every six years, the professional interview referred to in I of this article provides a summary of the employee’s career path. This period is assessed by reference to the employee’s length of service with the company.
This review, which will result in the drafting of a document, a copy of which will be given to the employee, will make it possible to check that the employee has benefited over the last six years from the professional interviews provided for in I and to assess whether he has :
1° Completed at least one training course ;
2° Acquired elements of certification through training or by validating their experience;
3° benefited from salary or professional progression.
In companies with at least fifty employees, if, during these six years, the employee has not benefited from the interviews provided for and at least one training course other than that mentioned in article L. 6321-2, his personal account is topped up under the conditions defined in article L. 6323-13.
For the application of this article, the number of employees and the fact that the threshold of fifty employees has been crossed are determined in accordance with the procedures set out in article L. 130-1 of the Social Security Code.
III – A collective agreement at company or, failing that, branch level may define a framework, objectives and collective criteria for employer contributions to employees’ personal training accounts. It may also provide for other methods of assessing the employee’s career path than those mentioned in 1° to 3° of II of this article, as well as a frequency of professional interviews different from that defined in I.
