Definition and applicability of the subordination relationship in wage portage

Characteristics of the subordination relationship in wage portage

In the context of wage portage, the subordination relationship applies only in the context of the employment contract signed between the employee under wage portage and the umbrella company. This contract, recognized by law since 2018, does not extend to the client company, thanks to an equal relationship made possible by the absence of a direct contract between these parties. The collective agreement of March 22, 2017, reinforces this specificity, guaranteeing your freedom to prospect and organize your assignments. It thus overrides classic hierarchical constraints but still imposes obligations, such as submitting reports to validate services.

In summary, you maintain significant autonomy in the management of your activity, while the umbrella company is limited to an administrative and protective role.
