At My Co., this is how we define “portage salarial” :
Adapted to our new era, this status offers the self-employed worker a secure working environment, minimizing risks and working in line with the advantages of their self-employed status.
As the name suggests, portage salarial offers the professional the opportunity to be both an employee and a project leader.
The official definition of portage salarial can be found in article L. 1254-1. of the ordinance n° 2015-380 of April 2, 2015 :
The term “portage salarial” refers to the organized whole made up of two ideas:
one, the relationship between a company, known as a “portage salarial company”, providing a service for a client company, which gives rise to the conclusion of a commercial contract for the provision of services; and two, the employment contract concluded between the portage salarial company and an employee known as the “salarié porté”, who is remunerated by this company.
While this status has existed legally since the 1980s, it is more suited to today’s world of work, which has undergone profound changes in recent years.
