Intermediary associations are state-approved associations whose purpose is to employ unemployed people experiencing particular social and professional difficulties, with a view to facilitating their integration into the labour market by making them available to natural persons or legal entities in return for payment.
Employees may be offered a working week that is shorter than the minimum working week referred to in Article L. 3123-6 if this is justified by the integration programme.
The intermediary association welcomes people and monitors and supports its employees with a view to facilitating their social integration and seeking the conditions for sustainable professional integration.
An intermediary association may not make a person available to employers who have made redundancies in an equivalent job or with the same qualifications in the six months prior to making the person available.
