The absence of clauses prohibiting either the exercise of another profession or the performance of personal commercial transactions may not prevent the application of the provisions of article L. 7313-1.
In the absence of a written contract of employment, any person acting as a representative is presumed to be a traveller, representative or sales representative subject to the special rules of this Title.
Any agreement whose purpose is to prevent the application of the provisions of this Title shall be null and void.
The employment contract may include a trial period of no more than three months.
The employment contract may, for its duration, prohibit the traveller, sales representative or sales agent from representing specific companies or products. Where the employment contract does not contain such a prohibition, it shall contain, unless the parties expressly agree otherwise, a statement of the companies or products that the traveller, sales representative or sales agent already represents and an undertaking not to take on any new representation during the term…
Commissions due to travellers, sales representatives or sales agents are paid at least every three months.
The provisions of articles L. 3253-2 and L. 3253-3, relating to guarantees of remuneration in the context of safeguard, reorganisation or compulsory liquidation proceedings, apply to travellers, representatives or salespersons for remuneration of any kind due in respect of the last ninety days worked.
In the event of termination of the employment contract, the notice period may not be less than : 1° One month during the first year of presence in the company ; 2° Two months during the second year ; 3° Three months thereafter.
The period of notice for a traveller, sales representative or sales representative employed outside France is increased by the normal duration of the return journey when the termination of the contract results in his return to France.
Regardless of the cause and date of termination of the employment contract, the traveller, sales representative or sales representative is entitled, by way of salary, to commissions and discounts on orders not yet transmitted on the date of his departure, but which are the direct result of sample discounts and prices made prior to the expiry of the contract.
