The world of work is regulated by numerous laws and collective agreements. When you work, you have rights and duties.
Employment law
As a student, you are subject to the same legislation as other employees.
International students
As a general rule, all foreign nationals must obtain a work permit in order to work in France. It's important to find out what your rights are before you start working.
Allô Service Public 3939 is an administrative telephone information service. It provides information on rights, obligations and procedures, particularly in the area of employment.
Attention
Attendance: attendance at tutorials and practical work is compulsory; a job does not constitute a justified absence. In the event of unjustified absence, you may be considered as "failing", resulting in failure of the continuous assessment and termination of the Crous grant.
Undeclared work: undeclared employment, whether regular or not, is forbidden by law. Employers and employees are liable to criminal and financial penalties.
Jobs and taxes
You have to declare your income!
If you are attached to your parents for tax purposes (up to the age of 25), they must declare your income (exemption up to a limit of €4,618 per year);
If you are self-employed for tax purposes, you must file your own tax return.
The "prime d'activité" is available to salaried students and apprentices under certain conditions. It is issued by the Caisse d'allocations familiales. You must earn a minimum salary of around €900 net per month for at least three months.
Keep your payslips, employment contracts and work certificates in a safe place. These jobs are counted in the same way as any period of salaried employment.
