who want to increase their income and take control of their choice of assignments.

To benefit from umbrella employment, you must meet the following conditions:
Have specific skills and proven mastery of your field, enabling you to assess and deliver projects for clients.
-Level 5 qualification (two years of higher education) or equivalent.
-Otherwise, at least three years of professional experience in the relevant sector.
Be able to:
-Prospect and select your own clients.
-Negotiate the terms and rates of your services.
-Freely organise your schedule to carry out assignments.
The minimum gross monthly pay is set at:
-Junior umbrella employee (less than 3 years’ seniority): 70% of the monthly social security ceiling (PMSS).
-Senior umbrella employee (at least 3 years’ seniority): 75% of the PMSS.
-Employee on a days-based package: 85% of the PMSS.
Note: the 2026 PMSS is €4,005; these percentages correspond to €2,803.50, €3,003.75 and €3,404.25 respectively.
A bonus equal to 5% of gross monthly pay, recognising the prospecting work done by the umbrella employee.
Example: for gross pay of €3,000, the business introduction allowance would be €150.
Umbrella employment combines the autonomy of freelancing with the protection of employment: unemployment insurance, general-scheme pension, health insurance, provident cover and paid leave. There is no company to set up and no accounts to keep, your business expenses are reimbursed and you get access to employee savings and training.
Umbrella employment costs more than a micro-enterprise: full social contributions and management fees bring net pay down to 60–65% of revenue. You also have to find your own assignments, and some activities are excluded, such as personal services. Below €300 excl. VAT per day, it becomes less worthwhile.
A micro-enterprise has lower charges, but its revenue is capped and it gives no right to unemployment benefits. Umbrella employment provides full social protection and no admin. For an IT consultant billing more than €300 excl. VAT per day, umbrella employment often offers the best balance.
You need enough expertise and autonomy to find clients and negotiate your rates, plus a two-year higher education diploma or three years' experience in the field. The minimum full-time gross salary is 70% of the monthly social security ceiling for a junior and 75% for a senior.
Yes. The umbrella employee contributes to unemployment insurance like any employee. At the end of a fixed-term contract or after a permanent contract ends, they can receive the return-to-work allowance (ARE) if they have worked at least six months in the last 24 months.
Yes, under conditions. A jobseeker who starts an umbrella assignment can combine part of their ARE with their salary, according to France Travail rules on resumed activity. Simply declare your salary each month and France Travail recalculates the allowance paid.
If you want to work independently while enjoying the social benefits and security of employment, without managing the administrative and financial aspects of setting up a company, feel free to contact us for more information.
