Temporary/Agency Job Contracts (France)

Contrat de Travail Temporaire ou d’Intérim (Temporary/Agency Job Contracts)

The contract conditions are almost the same as for a CDD except that there are three parties involved, the employer, the employee and the employment agency. Companies can only use temporary employees for short-term activities. The employee is hired and paid for each placement by the agency. In most cases the length of the job contract cannot exceed 18 months, but there are exceptions to this. At the end of the contract, the employee has the right to a bonus, which should be at least 10 percent of the total gross salary.
