Chapter 4.2 – Disciplinary sanctions

Article 4.2.1 – Definition of sanctions
In accordance with article R.6352-3 of the French Labour Code, a sanction is any measure, other than verbal observations, taken by the director of the training organization following the actions of a trainee considered by him to be at fault, whether or not this measure is likely to immediately affect the trainee’s presence on the course, or to jeopardize the continuity of the training he receives.

Article 4.2.2 – Nature of sanctions
The following sanctions may be applied within IILA:

– Warning: this measure, designed to penalize misconduct, constitutes a reminder of good order with no impact, immediate or otherwise, on the trainee’s presence on the course; the warning must be formulated in writing and be acknowledged by the recipient (either in handwritten and signed form, or in the form of a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt).
– Temporary exclusion from the course,
– Permanent exclusion from the course: this measure entails the permanent interruption of the trainee’s participation in the course for which he/she was registered.

Article 4.2.3 – Scale of sanctions
The sanctions defined in the previous article are listed in ascending order of severity.
The choice of sanction within the scale thus defined will depend on the seriousness of the misconduct.
The decision to be taken in each case will, however, take into account all personal and material factors likely to mitigate or aggravate the applicable sanction.

Chapter 4.3 – Disciplinary procedures and rights of defence

Article 4.3.1 – Procedure for simple warnings
In accordance with the provisions of article R.6352-4 of the French Labour Code, trainees are reminded that they will be informed in advance of any grievances against them.
Simple written warnings are notified to the trainee concerned, specifying the grievances against him/her.
This notification is made :
– Either by hand-delivered letter, one copy of which is signed and dated by hand,
– Or by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

Article 4.3.2 – Procedure applicable in the event of temporary or permanent exclusion from the course
When the director of the training organization or his or her representative is considering imposing a sanction which may or may not have an immediate impact on a trainee’s attendance at a training course, the procedure is as follows:
1. The director or his representative summons the trainee, indicating the purpose of the summons. The notice specifies the date, time and place of the interview. The summons is in writing and is sent by registered post or handed to the trainee against a receipt;

2. During the interview, the trainee may be assisted by a person of his or her choice, in particular the trainee’s representative if one exists. The summons referred to in 1° shall mention this option;
3. The director or his representative indicates the reason for the proposed sanction and takes the trainee’s explanations.

In accordance with the provisions of article R.6352-6 of the French Labor Code, the penalty may not be imposed less than one clear day or more than fifteen days after the interview.
The trainee is notified of the decision in writing, with reasons, by registered letter or by delivery against receipt.
When the behaviour has made it essential to take a precautionary measure of temporary exclusion with immediate effect, no definitive sanction relating to this behaviour may be taken without the procedure provided for in article R. 6352-4 of the French Labour Code and, where applicable, articles R. 6352-5 and R. 6352-6 of the French Labour Code, having been observed.
