Subsection 2: Temporary employment agencies

Temporary work contractors may only operate after making a declaration to the administrative authority and obtaining a financial guarantee in accordance with article L. 1251-49. A prior declaration is also required when a temporary work contractor moves the registered office of its business or opens branches, agencies or sub-offices. Any temporary work agency ceasing its activities must declare this to the administrative authorities.

The temporary employment agency provides the statement of assignment contracts to the institution mentioned in Article L. 5312-1, in particular for the purpose of verifying employees’ entitlement to the replacement income provided for in Article L. 5421-2. This institution communicates the information to the administrative authority in order to carry out its control missions.

When a temporary employment agency operates without having made the declarations provided for in Article L. 1251-45 or without having obtained the financial guarantee provided for in Article L. 1251-49 , and there is a serious risk of harm to the temporary employee as a result, the court may order the closure of the business for a period not exceeding two months. The matter is referred to the court by…

A decree of the Conseil d’Etat shall determine : 1° The content and procedures for the declarations provided for in Article L. 1251-45 and the deadline for submitting them to the administrative authority; 2° The type of information that must be included in the statement of employment contracts provided for in Article L. 1251-46, as well as the frequency and procedures for its presentation.
