RUNCTL_ELE001 |
Run the Election report, which provides the results of the staff representative elections for employees and management. |
Human Resources enables you to monitor professional elections for personnel representatives (delegues du personnel) and members of the work council(comite d'enterprise) in your organization if you are doing business in France.
Companies with more than 11 employees must elect personnel representatives to represent all of the employees before management. Companies with more than 50 employees must elect a work council to represent the employees in negotiations with management. Normally, the elections are every two years and follow stringent procedures.
Once you enter the election data, run the Election report to show the results of the elections to the employees and management.
Use the Maintain Election Data - Group page (ELECTION_GROUP) to define the characteristics of an election.
