Wage portage: the independence of a freelancer, the advantages of an employee

Wage portage is a contractual relationship between three parties. The employee (known as a ported employee) signs an employment contract with a wage portage company, then performs a service on behalf of a client company.

The employee himself negotiates the terms of the contract with his client (fees, schedule, special conditions …) It is then the wage portage company which invoices the client, then pays the employee a remuneration from which it subtracts a commission.

The worker is therefore an employee of the umbrella company for the duration of his assignment. As such, he receives remuneration and payslips, while contributing for his retirement or for unemployment. His contract ends once his mission is completed for the client.

IT wage portage: the solution for managing your payroll and invoicing in Luxembourg

Administrative management is a time-consuming and very often tedious task for an IT freelancer. In addition to mastering payroll and invoicing software, you will have to comply with a serious watch from a legal and regulatory point of view (accounting lines, contribution rate, labor law …) This will certainly require you to enter in contact with various interlocutors (CCSS, CNS, administration of direct contributions, lawyers …) in order to find the reliable and relevant information you need. Between e-mails, phone calls or meetings at reception centers, you risk wasting precious time, while undergoing additional and unnecessary stress.
