Introduction
Outsourcing is an operation whereby an entity, known as the user company, entrusts
another, known as the subcontractor, the task of executing, according to pre-established
specifications, a part of the acts of production and services for which the user company
retains its responsibility1. This operation is carried out according to an outsourcing
contract between the user company and the subcontractor. This contract’s object is the
performing of work requested in exchange of remuneration2.
Indeed, a contract must be considered to be an outsourcing contract when a company
(the subcontractor) offers to the user company (the company that outsources its
production) a service carried out by the subcontractor’s employees, who remain under
the direction and responsibility of the subcontractor. Therefore, outsourcing involves
that the subcontractor must carry out a work determined in return of remuneration3.
The concept of outsourcing also encompasses transfer of undertakings pursuant to
article L. 1224-1 and following of the French Labour Code4. In this context, a
company (transferor) transfers to another company (transferee) a part of its business.
Under certain conditions, the employment contracts attached to the business
transferred by the user company are automatically transferred to the subcontractor on
the same terms and conditions.
By contrast, the purpose of temporary workers and temporary employment agencies
is to place one or more employees at the disposal of another company, generally for a
fixed period. This activity is strictly ruled by 635 articles of the Labour Code. All
lawful cases of outsourcing or temporary placement are characterized by a tripartite
relationship between a provider company, a user company and workers.
It is noteworthy to precise that new forms of legal temporary placement have recently
