The gradual implementation in French law of a preferential regime in terms of access to residence and work for foreign nationals wishing to work in France stems from a simple observation: more and more French companies are resorting to recruiting abroad.
Whether this recruitment is motivated by ambitions to develop their business internationally or by the mastery by these international talents of specific techniques which are not taught in France, these companies have the same need: bringing their future employees to France as quickly as possible and at a lower cost.
To this end, French law has adapted the conditions of access to residence for foreign workers. However, depending on their degree of qualification, two distinct regimes are now applicable to such workers.
Even after the introduction of foreign nationals in France, the modalities of their employment also raise difficulties.
Indeed, the employer is responsible for constantly ensuring that the conditions of employment offered to these foreign employees comply with the regulations on residence and work.
For example, they may not employ a foreign student beyond 60% of the legal annual working time.
In case of non-compliance with this regulation, numerous sanctions can be imposed on the employing company. Hence, there is a real need for companies to benefit from assistance at each stage of the hiring and employment of a foreign employee.
