Conduct a compliance audit

Recruitment and HR Essentials

Recruitment is a strategic process that involves attracting top talent, evaluating candidates, and making hiring decisions that align with both immediate business needs and long-term company growth. Ensuring compliance with labor laws and regulations is an essential part of this process.

​

Employer's Freedom of Choice

Employers have the autonomy to select candidates but must strictly adhere to non-discrimination principles.

 
Crafting Job Offers

Job postings should be clearly written, inclusive, and free from any discriminatory language, avoiding references to age, gender, family status, political beliefs, or religious affiliations.

 
Data Protection in Hiring

The collection and processing of personal data must comply with CNIL regulations, ensuring transparency and safeguarding candidates' rights. Information gathered should be strictly relevant to the position.

 
Interview Process

Interview questions must focus solely on the candidate’s professional skills and qualifications, avoiding personal topics such as political or religious beliefs or union affiliations.

​

Employment Contracts

Employment contracts in France must contain key elements that vary by contract type. Generally, they include:

  • Employer and employee details

  • Workplace location

  • Job title and qualifications

  • Working hours (weekly/monthly)

  • Salary, including benefits and bonuses

  • Probation period terms

  • Annual leave entitlement

  • Notice period for termination

These components clarify rights and obligations, preventing future disputes.

 

Workplace Safety

Creating a safe work environment is crucial for employee well-being and productivity. Key safety measures include:

  • Risk Assessment: Identifying physical, chemical, biological, and ergonomic hazards to mitigate workplace accidents.

  • Training & Awareness: Employees must receive safety training tailored to their roles.

  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Essential safety gear (helmets, gloves, goggles) should be provided as needed.

  • Signage & Communication: Clear safety signage and open discussions help prevent incidents.

  • Emergency Response Plans: Up-to-date protocols for fires or accidents ensure quick and effective action.

  • Safety Culture: Encouraging every employee to prioritize their own safety and that of colleagues fosters a risk-aware workplace.

 

Salary & Benefits

Payslips are mandatory documents summarizing compensation details. Required elements include:

  • Employer information (name, SIRET number, NAF code)

  • Applicable collective agreement

  • Employee details (name, job title)

  • Work period and hours recorded

  • Breakdown of contributions and deductions

  • Net salary and taxable amount

  • Withholding tax details

 

Termination

Exit processes differ based on contract type and circumstances:

  • Resignation: Employees notify employers, respecting notice periods.

  • Dismissal: Employers may terminate contracts due to personal or economic reasons, following legal procedures.

  • Mutual Agreement: Employee and employer mutually decide on contract termination, formalizing it with a signed agreement.

  • Fixed-Term Contract Expiry: Ends on the agreed date, though early termination may occur under specific conditions.
