The elected representative must inform the employer of the date of the session or meeting as soon as he is aware of it.
The employer is not obliged to pay as working time the time spent by the elected representative at the aforementioned sessions and meetings.
At the start of his term of office as councillor at the Martinique Assembly, the employee benefits, at his request, from an individual interview with his employer on the practical arrangements for exercising his mandate with regard to his job. This interview does not replace the professional interview mentioned in article L. 6315-1 of the Labour Code.
The employer and the employee member of the Martinique Assembly may agree on the measures to be implemented to facilitate the reconciliation between the employee’s professional life and his elective duties and, where applicable, on the conditions of remuneration for the time of absence devoted to the exercise of these duties.
