WEDOCLOUD · SERVICES · UMBRELLA EMPLOYMENT
Your expertise. Your independence.
An employment framework.
Carry out assignments independently while benefiting from employee status. Explore the French umbrella employment system, known as portage salarial, and estimate the income associated with your activity.
Whatever your day rate
How does umbrella employment work?
The arrangement involves three parties: you, your client and WeDoCloud, your umbrella employment company. You negotiate the assignment and price; WeDoCloud manages the contracts, invoices the client and converts billed activity into employment income.
Define your expertise, day rate and assignment conditions with the client.
WeDoCloud draws up the employment contract and commercial agreement.
Carry out the assignment, report your activity and receive your pay according to the agreed conditions.
The benefits of umbrella employment
CONTRACT
A permanent contract is possible
A French permanent employment contract (CDI) can cover several assignments. A fixed-term contract (CDD) may also be possible, depending on the situation.
PAY
A payslip
Pay is formalised on a payslip, with the corresponding contributions and deductions.
SIMPLICITY
Administrative management
WeDoCloud handles contracts, invoicing and social contribution declarations.
PROTECTION
Social protection
Retirement, insurance cover and unemployment insurance fall within the employment framework, subject to eligibility conditions.
AUTONOMY
Your clients, your rate
You find clients and negotiate assignments independently. Your expertise remains central to the relationship.
VISIBILITY
Track your activity
An activity account details receipts, expenses, deductions and pay.
ALL YOU NEED IS YOUR DAY RATE
Estimate your income with WeDoCloud
Whatever your day rate
A simple presentation of your income, based on 21 billed days per month.
For a day rate of €600
Monthly net pay*
Optimised net pay*
*At a €600 day rate: reference supplied and approved by WeDoCloud for 21 billed days. For other day rates: a proportional projection of this reference, rather than a payroll calculation or individual application of limits. Indicative amounts to be confirmed according to your situation and eligible optimisation measures, without a contractual guarantee.
Optimisation measures we can explore
WeDoCloud helps identify measures suited to your activity, without item-by-item entry in this estimate.
Meals and meal allowances
Allowances linked to your assignment conditions; the same meal cannot be reimbursed twice.
Mileage allowances
Reimbursement of eligible travel in your personal vehicle. Scenario basis: 400 km per month.
Business expenses
Equipment, software, telephone, coworking and other business-related expenses, supported by receipts.
Travel and accommodation
Train, taxi, tolls, parking and business accommodation, depending on your assignment.
Culture vouchers
A budget reserved for cultural goods and activities, according to the scheme offered.
Holiday vouchers
A contribution towards holiday costs, according to the scheme’s conditions.
Pre-funded CESU vouchers
Vouchers for eligible personal services and childcare in France.
Gift vouchers
Purchase vouchers within the applicable eligibility rules and limits.
These measures are possibilities to check, rather than benefits automatically available to everyone. Reimbursements cover expenses; vouchers have restricted uses. Their eligibility, funding, limits and actual effect on your pay are confirmed in your WeDoCloud proposal.
Your questions about umbrella employment
Does a permanent contract guarantee pay between assignments?
Periods without service delivery are not paid. The operation of reserves must be specified in the contract.
Who is umbrella employment for?
Independent professionals with the necessary expertise and qualifications. Your activity and assignment must be checked for eligibility before contracts are signed.
How can I get a personalised estimate?
Share your day rate, billing schedule and expenses during a conversation. Umbrella employment conditions and payroll parameters can then be clarified.
