Legal definition of the concept of executive officer:
The notion of executive is defined by Article L 3111-2 of the Labour Code, which requires the three elements:
1. A greater independence in organizing the timetable
2. An authorization to take decisions largely independently
3. remuneration being in the highest levels of pay systems practiced in the company or establishment.
These three criteria are cumulative and imply that the framework in question participates in the management of the company.
