About French Labor Law
Being Hired And Fired in France
Labor law in France has many differences
from its U.S. counterpart. The worker in France is protected
to a much greater degree in France. For example, if he or she
is fired, the law allows greater severance pay opportunities
as well as special tax treatment of that pay. Unemployment
insurance is a well-developed concept in France. You should
understand whether your employment situation places you under
the umbrella of the French social system. We have represented
many fired employees in their claims against their former employers.
