What is the conciliation procedure?
Employers' inexcusable fault (FIE)

This procedure is not compulsory, and the victim who wishes to have the employer's inexcusable fault recognized can take the matter directly to the Social Security Court (Tribunal des affaires de Sécurité sociale - TASS).

In most cases, however, this step is taken. The victim writes to the Caisse primaire.

The Caisse will organize the conciliation meeting on its premises, summoning the employer, the user company in the case of an accident involving a temporary employee, and the victim.

There are three possible solutions.

• Neither party attends the meeting: the Caisse will draw up a procès-verbal de carence.

• All parties are present, but no agreement is reached: the Caisse will draw up a procès-verbal de non-conciliation.
