Posted workers in France : appointing a legal representative

For employers based outside France, posting workers in France for the purpose of doing a job or providing a service.

Companies whose registered offices are located abroad can post their employees in France on a temporary basis for the purpose of carrying out a specific mission. Any employer based outside France required to provide a service in France must submit a prior declaration of temporary posting to the labour inspectorate branch of the place where the service is to be provided.

This means that the employer will be subject to French rules throughout the duration of the posting of his/her employees in France (labour code, laws, regulations, collective agreements, etc.) in matters of remuneration, professional equality, working hours and working conditions.

Once the mission has been completed, employees resume their former activities within the home company.
