International wage portage

What is wage portage?

Wage portage is a system that allows a person to become employee of a so-called portage company while having the possibility of run your business like a self-employed person. The consultant goes be able to sign a CDD or CDI with an umbrella company and then canvass its own clients to carry out its missions. At instead of invoicing itself for the service performed, it is the company portage that will take care of it. A salary is then paid each month to the consultant based on the turnover achieved. It is therefore a tripartite relationship that is implemented between the consultant or employee carried, the wage portage company and the client company.

Instead of creating his own company to pilot his activity, the consultant will therefore rather turn to an employee status. It him will nevertheless make it possible to choose its clients, its missions and to set its rates as he sees fit. Halfway between self-employment and wage portage, wage portage offers various advantages and it is moreover for this reason that more and more independents turn to this solution.

What are the benefits of wage portage?

Wage portage offers many advantages at different levels, which makes it a very suitable solution for many professionals. Thus, if one hesitates between the status of auto-entrepreneur and employee, wage portage can be an interesting solution.

The advantages of employee status

The first significant advantage of wage portage is that it gives access to everything an employee of a traditional company can benefit from. We will thus be able to benefit from unemployment, health insurance, pension, complementary health insurance, but also other benefits depending on the carrier chosen. This is a valuable asset to evolve in his profession in complete safety since the status of freelance, for example, does not allow access to unemployment. THE consultants will thus benefit from additional protection in the framework of their activity.

No administrative and accounting management

Another advantage of choosing wage portage is that we will be able to dispense with the administrative and accounting management of his company. Indeed, if the status of auto-entrepreneur allows access to simplified management, it is still necessary to devote time to certain tasks on a regular basis. Payment taxes and social charges, keeping a revenue book, the opening of a dedicated bank account past a certain figure business are all tasks that will have to be taken care of in the framework of a self-employed activity. In wage portage, the signature of an employment contract implies that it is the umbrella company that will take care of all the administrative and accounting part.

We will thus have much more time to devote to the development of our activity.

Free management

The status of employee in wage portage allows you to benefit from a certain freedom in the performance of its missions and the management of his activity. Indeed, the umbrella company does not intervene in the how the employee will manage his activity. He is free to choose his clients and its missions, the way in which these are carried out and to set these prices. The portage company only intervenes at the time of the payment of the invoice. The management of his project is therefore very autonomous for the consultant who can develop his work as he sees fit.

Step-by-step guidance

Finally, the fact of opting for a wage portage contract allows elsewhere to benefit from professional support. The company carrier chosen will indeed be able to accompany each of its employees to help him develop his project. Advice and Recommendations can therefore be made as needed. He This is a valuable asset, especiallycompared to the status self-entrepreneur who often involves managing his activity only.

Working in wage portage can also be an opportunity to meet other employees and why not in his sector of activity. We have thus the possibility of building up a real professional network.

If we unfamiliar with the regulations in force in the country in which you are want to work, you can very quickly make mistakes that can be detrimental to its business.

The latter must make a maximum of 24 months (it is however possible to extend this duration subject to compliance with certain conditions).
