Every year, portage salarial wins over more consultants, trainers, IT experts and interim managers. This hybrid status combines the freedom of independence with the security of salaried employment. At Linkao, here is a complete overview of how it works — from your first steps to your pay.

How does it work?

You find your assignments and negotiate directly with your clients. An umbrella company like Linkao then signs an employment contract with you and invoices your work to the client company. You are an employee, while staying in charge of your activity.

What you should remember

  • You keep your commercial autonomy: you find your own clients.
  • You get employee status and its benefits: unemployment insurance, pension, health cover, prévoyance.
  • Your pay depends on the revenue invoiced, minus management fees and contributions.
  • The scheme is regulated by law and a dedicated collective agreement.
