Foreign company hiring employees in France

Foreign company hiring employees in France : how to proceed ?

A company with its head office abroad and no permanent establishment in France can employ salaried staff in France, even without an office here. 

The advantages of this service

This service is a response to the real issue of homeworking across national borders. Work is becoming increasingly digitalised and more and more employees are now working from home. Things are a little more complex for employees working for a foreign company: the foreign company is required to register in France as an employeur firme étrangère (foreign company that is an employer) so that it can prepare employee payslips, report and pay the relevant social charges, deduct and pay tax deducted at source for the employee, etc.

Foreign company hiring employees in France : important point !

For foreign companies located outside of the European Union (+ the United Kingdom, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland), outside of the SEPA, it is also necessary to engage a tax representative to ensure payment of social security contributions and income tax (deducted at source).  We can put you in touch with a tax representative if required.
