The agreement specifies the goalsthe content, the means, the duration and the period of realization, and the modalities of realization, the modalities of submission of the detailed results and the summary document as well as the price and the modalities of settlement of the balance sheet.
The employee has 10 days to make his acceptance known by returning the agreement he has signed. The absence of a response from the employee at the end of this period constitutes refusal. This refusal constitutes neither a fault nor a reason for dismissal.

The assessment necessarily includes three phases under the supervision of the service provider. The time spent on each phase varies depending on the actions taken to meet the person’s needs.
A preliminary phase aims to :
- to analyze the request and the needs of the beneficiary,
- to determine the format most suited to the situation and needs,
- to jointly define the procedures for carrying out the assessment.
An investigation phase allows the beneficiary :
- either to build your professional project and check its relevance,
- or to develop one or more alternatives.
A conclusion phase, through personalized interviews, allows the beneficiary to :
- take ownership of the detailed results of the investigation phase,
- identify the conditions and means favoring the realization of the professional project(s),
- plan the main terms and stages of the professional project(s), including the possibility of benefiting from a follow-up interview with the assessment provider.
This third phase ends with the presentation to the beneficiary of detailed results and a summary document. The balance sheet results are the sole property of the beneficiary. They can only be communicated to a third party with their consent.
