Temporary Workers vs. Permanent Employees: A Comparison in France

The most common type of contract for non-EU workers in France is a CDI (contrat d’une durée indéterminée) which offers job security. This is a legally binding contract for private employers which they are required to offer unless they can demonstrate a good reason not to, and it can be used for both full time and part-time employment. If the employer wishes to terminate the contract, they must provide a valid reason for doing so and pay end-of-contract compensation.

Employers may hire workers on a fixed-term contract in order to fulfil short-term needs that occur regularly and repetitively throughout the year, such as updating a department’s computer systems or carrying out audits. This can also be used for one-off functions or events that do not form part of a business’s core activities. In this case, the temporary work agency must draft an engagement letter to the user company and each assignment must be covered by a secondment contract with the user company.
