Article L1251-1 of the French Labour Code

The purpose of temporary work is for a temporary employment agency to make an employee available on a temporary basis to a client for the purpose of carrying out an assignment.

Each assignment gives rise to the conclusion of :

1° A temporary work contract between the temporary work company and the user client, known as the “user company”;

2° An employment contract, known as the “assignment contract”, between the temporary employee and his employer, the temporary employment company.

Where the user is a legal entity governed by public law, this chapter applies, subject to the provisions of section 6.
