See job offersDo you urgently need to replace an employee? Is your business facing an unexpected peak in activity and do you have an immediate need for additional staff?
When a company faces an urgent situation requiring additional personnel, using temporary workers proves to be a fast and effective solution. We explain the legal grounds for using temporary work contracts, the specific cases of replacement authorized by law, as well as the advantages and flexibility that temporary work offers businesses.
Legal Grounds for Using Temporary Work Contracts:
The conclusion of a temporary employment contract is only possible for the execution of a specific and temporary task, known as an assignment, and only in the cases listed by law. Whatever the reason for its conclusion, such a contract cannot have the object or effect of permanently filling a job linked to the normal and permanent activity of the user company. (French Ministry of Labour, https://travail-emploi.gouv.fr/droit-du-travail/les-contrats-de-travail/article/le-contrat-de-travail-temporaire)
Cases of Recourse
What are the cases of recourse?✅ Replacement of an absent employee: A temporary worker can replace any employee absent from the user company for any reason (illness, holidays, etc.), except in the case of a strike.✅ Waiting for a new employee to take office: A temporary employee can replace an employee who has permanently left the company or has been permanently transferred within it while waiting for their replacement, hired on a permanent contract, to take office.✅ Waiting for the definitive elimination of the position of the employee who has permanently left the company.✅ Replacement of an employee temporarily working part-time.✅ Temporary increase in the company's activity: However, a temporary employment contract cannot, in principle, be concluded for this reason in an establishment that has carried out redundancies for economic reasons within a period of 6 months for the positions concerned by these redundancies.✅ Special cases: Urgent work, the immediate execution of which is necessary to prevent imminent accidents, organize rescue measures, or repair deficiencies in the company's equipment, installations, or buildings that pose a danger to people, may justify the conclusion of temporary employment contracts.
Urgent Work: Definition
The "urgent work" defined by regulations is unforeseeable work, justified by safety, the continuity of public service, the safeguarding of persons or property, or in cases of force majeure.
⚖️ Article L3132-4 of the French Labour Code "In the event of urgent work, the immediate execution of which is necessary to organize rescue measures, to prevent imminent accidents or to repair accidents occurring to the equipment, installations or buildings of the establishment, weekly rest may be suspended for the personnel necessary for the execution of this work."
In the professional world, the unpredictability of "urgent work" is a reality that companies can face at any time. Temporary work proves particularly relevant in the context of urgent work as defined by regulations.
Temporary Work as a Solution for Urgent Recruitment:
Temporary work provides an effective response to the need to recruit staff quickly. With a pool of qualified temporary workers, the advantages of temporary work include the management of administrative documents by the temporary employment agency, the ease of ordering staff in a few clicks, and the flexibility offered by the possibility of adjusting the duration of the contract according to specific needs.
An Advantageous Employment Contract for Businesses
Framed by Article L1251-30 of the French Labour Code, flexibility allows the adjustment of the end date provided for in the assignment contract based on the number of days worked. In addition, Article L1251-31 of the French Labour Code specifies that when an assignment contract is established to temporarily replace an absent employee, on leave or whose contract is suspended, the initially defined period may be extended until the day after the replaced person returns to their post.
This flexibility inherent in the temporary work contract offers the user company remarkable adaptability, allowing it to adjust in real-time to its specific needs, without additional administrative constraints. This major advantage proves to be an essential asset for efficient human resources management.
In addition, temporary work offers the opportunity to evaluate a profile before considering a transition to a permanent employment contract (CDI).
