Prepare a works council (CSE) consultation, with the facts.
Which update affects which tool, what the feature does according to the vendor, since when it has been active in your company, and the record of what you present to your works council (CSE), with the document.
The question
“If we deploy, the works council can stop everything.” Several decisions from 2025 and 2026 suspended the deployment of tools that include AI, finding that the works council (CSE) had not been consulted beforehand.
- A vendor adds an AI feature to a tool our employees use. Since when has it been active, and what does it do?
- What have we presented to our works council (CSE), when, and with which document?
Ojja does not answer for you. It gives you the facts to answer.
What Ojja shows you
- Social dialogue, when you decide. The features tied to your works council (CSE) stay off until you turn them on. A setting in your workspace, “Social dialogue”, turns them on or off; each change is recorded, with its author and its date.
- Which update affects which tool. For each AI feature, the date of the vendor's announcement, its effective date, the date read in your company, and the deadline to defer it when there is one.
- The CSE logbook. For each change, what you record: “presented to the works council (CSE) on”, with the document. The logbook keeps what was done; it never shows a “missing” or “late” status.
- The fact sheet. Works council (CSE) consultation: a fact sheet for the file of the deployment you are launching. What the tool does, the model, the data it reads, where it goes, on by default or not, what is read of its use, who is concerned. No conclusion.
- The social signal. When a feature that touches working conditions turns on, the line says so, with the framework the catalog links to it and the point to review with your counsel. You turn it on and you close it.
- Ojja's fact sheet for your works council (CSE). Ojja comes with its own fact sheet for your works council: what we read, at what level, what we never read.
The texts the catalog links
- In companies of at least fifty employees, the French Labor Code provides for informing and consulting the works council (CSE) on the introduction of new technologies and on the means of monitoring employees' activity (Articles L. 2312-8 and L. 2312-38). Several decisions from 2025 and 2026 applied it to tools that include AI. What applies to your project is for your counsel to determine.
- Article L. 2312-38 also covers informing the works council (CSE) about recruitment aid methods or techniques and automated personnel management processing, as well as their changes. For an AI feature added to an HR tool, Ojja records the date it turns on in your company.
On the Arvenne example
The Teams meeting recaps turn on by default at Arvenne. The sample sheet, with fictional values, records that they read meeting transcripts, that the data stays in the European Union, and that the feature is on by default and included in the license. Ojja dates the vendor's announcement and the activation read at Arvenne. The example shows no CSE logbook: what a company presents to its works council (CSE), and when, is what it records itself, with the document.

What Ojja never does
- Ojja does not say whether a consultation is necessary or how to conduct it, and does not promise that a deployment will not be challenged. It gathers the facts; the assessment is for your counsel and your social dialogue.
- Ojja reads registers and configurations, never your content.
- Ojja gives no figure per person.
Ojja does not provide legal advice: it records and documents; how the law applies to your situation is for your counsel to determine.
