French Public Health Code
In forceWithout prejudice to the provisions of articles R. 6153-29 to R. 6153-39, the head of the organisation or establishment in which the resident carries out his duties may suspend the latter's activity if it is likely to compromise the smooth running of the service; the director general of the university hospital centre to which the resident is attached shall be notified without delay.
During the period in which he/she is suspended, the intern benefits from the elements of remuneration provided for in article R. 6153-10 and in 1° of article D. 6153-10-1.
The suspension is automatically terminated if the director general of the university hospital centre to which the intern belongs has not instituted proceedings within fifteen days of receiving the notice referred to in the first paragraph of this article or if this authority has not taken a decision four months after receiving the notice.
However, if the person concerned is the subject of criminal proceedings, the suspension may be extended for the duration of the proceedings.
