Are you concerned ?
Are you posting employees to France?
As soon as a company established outside France temporarily sends its employees there, obligations apply.
You are sending technicians
Installation, assembly or maintenance of equipment at a client established in France.
You have an IT or consulting assignment
A consultant or a team on a long assignment at a French end client.
Intra-group mobility
You are posting an employee from a foreign subsidiary to a site or subsidiary in France.
Your obligations
What the law requires
A set of obligations to comply with before and during each posting.
SIPSI declaration
A prior posting declaration must be submitted via the SIPSI online service before the start of the service.
Representative in France
You must appoint a representative present in France throughout the duration of the service (liaison with the labour inspectorate, retention of documents).
A1 certificate
The A1 form certifies that your employees remain affiliated with the social security scheme of their country of origin.
Documents in French
Payslips, contracts and supporting documents must be kept available, translated into French.
French labour law
Compliance with the "core" rules: minimum wage (SMIC or applicable collective minimum), working time, leave, health and safety.
Construction sector
The BTP card for your posted workers
On construction sites, every building and public works employee must hold the BTP professional identification card — including your posted workers. Without it, the site is exposed to an inspection and a fine.
- Mandatory for any employee carrying out construction work in France — including posted and temporary workers.
- The application is made by the employer (or their representative) to CIBTP France, and linked to your posting declaration.
- Valid for 5 years and active during your posting periods (multi-employer card since 2024).
- Must be presentable without delay on the site (labour inspectorate, project owner).
We take care of it: as your representative, we apply for and manage the BTP card for each of your posted workers.
Why it is serious
The risk of non-compliance
4 000 € per undeclared employee

- Suspension of the service in the event of a serious breach.
- Your French principal can be held jointly liable — and may require your proof of compliance before signing.
- Labour inspectorate checks on cross-border flows are on the rise.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I handle the formalities myself?
In theory yes, but the SIPSI declaration is made in French, the representative must be present in France, and the documents must be kept and translated there. A mistake or oversight exposes you to a fine per employee. This is exactly what we take care of for you.
How far ahead of the assignment should I get started?
The posting declaration must be made before the start of the service. Ideally, contact us as soon as the assignment is confirmed; we can process declarations quickly, including for imminent assignments.
What if the assignment only lasts a few days?
The obligations apply from the very first day of posting, regardless of the duration. A short assignment must also be subject to a compliant declaration and representation.
Who can be the employer’s representative in France?
A representative present on French territory during the service, mandated by the employer, responsible for liaising with the labour inspectorate and for retaining the documents. Eurofiscalis takes on this role on your behalf.
Do you speak our language?
Yes. Our team is multilingual and our offices cover several European countries. You communicate in your own language; we handle the formalities in French with the authorities.
Does posting to France create other obligations (VAT, establishment)?
Sometimes. Depending on your activity and your flows, posting may come with VAT or permanent establishment issues in France. That is the whole point of a firm that handles both the social and the tax side: we review your entire situation.
