We act as the legal employer of your employees, so you don't have to establish a separate business entity in France. We handle all the local laws, taxes, and international payroll management, so you can focus on growing your business.

Why use an employer of record services in France?

Normally, companies need to establish a legal entity in France in order to hire new employees, which includes registering an address, finding an office, and opening a local bank account. Managing local payroll, taxes, regulations, and benefits can be a lengthy process, taking months to complete.

Nevertheless, by leveraging an employer of record (EOR) provider like Native Teams, your business can operate in France without forming a legal entity. This approach saves you time and resources while ensuring adherence to employment laws and regulations.

How do EOR services in France work?

When you hire an employee through our employer of record (EOR) service in France, we become their legal employer. This means we handle all aspects of their employment, such as payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance with French employment laws.

You retain full control over your team's work, and your only responsibility is to pay us a fee for our services, covering the associated costs.
