French EOR Complete Solution at 2i

The freelance consultant is fully operational from day one, while both the consultant and the client company are relieved of all administrative tasks, handled entirely by 2i Portage.

Wage portage helps companies reduce risks linked to high salaries, short assignments, or highly specialised skills.

Since 2008, it has been legally recognised as a lawful form of labour provision.

It eliminates any risk of criminal penalties for unlawful loan of labour, similar to temporary work or shared‑time employment.

With us, onboarding takes just 24 hours! You entrust us with hiring your consultant.

We set up a service contract with you, avoiding any subcontracting‑related risks. You purchase the service according to your agreed budget.

The consultant is paid monthly in advance—without waiting for invoice payments.

Beyond the assignment, consultants benefit from a permanent employment contract (CDI).

Attractive compensation including reimbursement of business expenses, meal vouchers, savings plans, and other optimisation opportunities.

And above all, comfort and security: salary paid in advance on the 1st of each month, plus comprehensive protection (health insurance, provident fund, liability insurance, retirement, unemployment coverage, etc.).

Security, simplicity, and flexibility are the core advantages.

Financial security: no risk of inter‑contract periods and no cash advances.

Legal security: removes all risks linked to subcontracting (requalification, unlawful labour provision, etc.).

Companies must formalise a service contract detailing the assignment, remuneration terms, and collaboration process.

The client company ensures the consultant’s working conditions and pays invoices on time.

It must also ensure that the assignment does not relate to its core permanent activities, to avoid risk of reclassification.
