company regs
Taken from a company's internal regs, discussing how they are applied for temps/contractors etc.
En revanche, la procédure disciplinaire et les sanctions (III) relèveront de l'entreprise d'origine des intérimaires ou intervenants. Des règles spécifiques à ce type de personnel sont édictées au travers des procédures d’accueil, plans de prévention, et le non-respect entraîne l’obligation pour l’employeur du salarié en infraction de le chercher immédiatement sur instruction et sous la responsabilité du donneur d’ordres délégué.
For the "sur instruction", I suspect this may be part of the following phrase, and should be "sur l'instruction et sous la responsabilite du donneur d'ordres", but I am not 100% sure. It could therefore be attached to the "chercher" which is why i have included it in the question.
Many thanks.

recall
I am not sure, but it looks to me as though the employer (company B) is meant to immediately and as instructed by the manager at company A, who takes responsibility for invoking this action, recall their employee from the company (A), which the employee is working at/seconded to.

I think I can raise my confidence level on that, after all, "chercher un enfant à l'école" means to pick up a child from school.

One would not expect company B to send a manager (possibly with HR staff and a union rep.) to company A to investigate and take disciplinary action there - with company A providing office facilities. Such a delegation could hardly set off immediately either. Company A is far more likely to want the person off their premises and possibly replaced by another company B employee. Company B would want to deal with the HR issue in-house and in confidence.

Re Lorraine's idea abour "reaching" or "getting to". Neither of those terms is likely to be used in a contract. What would they mean? Reaching out and grabbing them by the scruff of the neck? Getting them on the end of a phone line? Sending a manager from the employing company to the end of the muddy field where the culprit was lurking?

Note from asker:
| Yes, perhaps I was overcomplicating things, thinking of phrases like "chercher en justice" but your suggestion certainly fits. |
