Weepo enters wage portage in the audiovisual sector
Since 2017, Weepo has been supporting consultants seeking freedom and independence. More than just a digital platform, Weepo is the ally of independent workers. Today, over 300 consultants benefit from a simplified, legal, and secure working framework. Initially, when Weepo was created, only IT independent workers generally turned to wage portage, but now it is the audiovisual professionals who are embracing this mode of work.
Are you an actor, cameraman, director, or sound engineer looking to live your passion while benefiting from a secure framework? This is possible with wage portage! Discover everything you need to know about the legislation and the advantages of this legal structure.
The legal framework of wage portage for audiovisual professions
Wage portage is a tripartite relationship governed by the article L.1254-1 of the Labor Code, which notably outlines the obligations of the parties and the object of the service.
Additionally, a collective agreement for employees in wage portage has been applicable since July 1, 2017.
Moreover, since 2013, intermittent performers must ensure that the umbrella company holds a license as a live performance provider issued by the Ministry of Culture and an APE code 9001Z corresponding to live performance activities.
This is the case for Weepo, which can indeed pay fees to intermittent performers, specifically to performing artists (actors, musicians, dancers, etc.) and technicians in live performance, audiovisual, cinema, and sound recording. This reinforcement was adopted to protect the regime of intermittent workers and their rights by preventing abuses.
Thus, Weepo can invoice fees in accordance with current legislation, issue pay slips compliant with the specific regime for intermittent performers, and declare the hours of the consultants to France Travail Spectacle.
The advantages of wage portage for audiovisual professions
When you are an intermittent performer, daily life can quickly become stressful due to the numerous administrative procedures related to the status.
Indeed, behind the passion for cinema, television, or the stage lies the behind-the-scenes reality: legal rules that can sometimes be difficult to understand, the need to secure contracts to validate hours with Pôle Emploi Spectacle, income irregularity, and heavy and complex administrative management involving pay slips, employer certificates, declarations, reminders for payment, etc.
In this context, wage portage is increasingly appealing to audiovisual professionals, particularly intermittent performers.
By opting for wage portage, you can secure your income. Weepo allows you to estimate your income without hidden fees. Indeed, the umbrella company pays you a salary every month. You gain stability, as you retain employee status while remaining flexible in your mission execution. You have the freedom to work with TV channels, professional companies, or any other institution without administrative constraints.
Furthermore, you benefit from the same health insurance benefits granted to a traditional employee, such as access to insurance (disability, death), paid leave, payment of benefits in case of sick leave or work-related accidents, the company’s complementary health insurance partially covered by Weepo, access to retirement, and professional training or the possibility of opening rights to unemployment at the end of the contract.
Finally, the umbrella company simplifies your administrative procedures by handling invoice issuance, payment collection, contribution deductions, and salary payments.
