France is the hardest major European market for EOR. French law prohibits lending staff for profit outside regulated channels, mainly temporary work agencies and portage salarial, each with limits on duration, pay or role type.
Choose a provider that can explain its French legal structure clearly, then compare how it handles the collective agreement, the mandatory health and provident plans, and exit costs.
- 1
A clear, lawful structure
Ask whether the provider uses a temporary work agency, portage salarial or another structure in France, and what limits apply to your role.
- 2
Collective agreement expertise
The applicable convention collective sets minimum pay, notice and severance. The provider should identify it before you hire.
- 3
Mutuelle and prévoyance
Check which mandatory health and provident plans are included and at what cost.
- 4
Exit costs
Ask how a rupture conventionnelle or dismissal is handled and billed.
