French Employee Disciplinary Procedure Form

Managing employee discipline in France requires strict adherence to procedural rules under the French Labor Code. This French Employee Disciplinary Procedure Form helps HR teams and managers document misconduct incidents, formally invite employees to disciplinary interviews (entretien préalable), and specify sanctions—all while maintaining compliance with French employment law.

Whether you're handling minor infractions or serious misconduct requiring dismissal, this template ensures you follow the proper legal steps, protect both employer and employee rights, and maintain clear documentation for URSSAF, labor tribunals (Conseil de prud'hommes), or social security audits.

Built for French SMBs, HR departments, and professional services firms, this form guides you through the entire disciplinary process—from initial incident reporting through to final sanction notification. The structured format helps you collect all required details, timelines, and witness statements, reducing legal risk and ensuring procedural fairness.
