Your questions
The host company in France (your client or contracting party) is jointly liable if you fail to properly handle the mandatory posting formalities. Your client faces significant risks and severe penalties — including criminal liability, reputational damage, and financial sanctions.
We strongly recommend appointing us to manage these complex procedures to avoid putting your French client at risk.
Posting workers is complex because it involves multiple areas of expertise: immigration, social security, labor law, and taxation.
It is also a highly technical subject that requires expert knowledge of all related regulations and procedures.
Furthermore, the obligations fall on the foreign company, which is often unaware of the rules and their legal implications.
Finally, frequent legislative changes require constant expert monitoring and updates.
Posting of workers refers to the situation in which a company based outside France temporarily sends its employees to France to perform a service.
To post workers in an EU Member State, companies must meet a number of mandatory conditions and procedures, and apply key provisions of French labor law to posted workers in specific areas.
An international service provision refers to the execution of a contract between a service provider established outside France and a client based in France.
Service provision may involve industrial, commercial, craft, liberal, or agricultural activities, as long as they are carried out under a contract and for an agreed fee.
The posted employee must normally work for the foreign company and carry out their assignment in France at the employer’s request and on a temporary basis.
They must not be hired solely for the purpose of being posted to France.
The foreign company must:
-
Be properly established in its country of origin
-
Carry out genuine and substantial business activities there — beyond mere administrative or internal functions
-
Example: A company that only has a registered office abroad but conducts no industrial or commercial activity in its home country may be considered a “letterbox company.”
-
-
Not carry out habitual, stable, and continuous activity in France
-
Example: A company doing minimal business in its home country but operating predominantly in France may be non-compliant.
-
The foreign company is legally required to appoint a representative based in France.
This representative serves as the contact point for French labor inspectors and must keep specific documents readily available (either in paper or digital format).
Before making the posting declaration, the foreign company must obtain the representative’s agreement for the appointment.
Be very careful with the concept of a business trip — it is subject to interpretation.
Accepting invitations or requests from French partners to attend or take part in trade shows, seminars, or conferences may be considered a business trip.
Meetings should take place in dedicated meeting rooms, as business travelers must not have a personal workspace or office setup in France.
In case of inspection, labor authorities may request proof, such as the invitation letter from your French contact, specifying the nature, purpose, duration, and location of the event or meeting.
