The district of Hérault has just suspended two construction companies, including one at its headquarters in Perpignan, for illegal work. These companies employed 130 Portuguese employees as “commissioned workers” in an offensive manner. Their sites will be shut down for 3 months and employees will be paid.
Hérault, a department whose construction sites are among the most numerous in France, does not flinch from the fight against illegal work.
Two companies from Languedoc-Roussillon operating 5 construction sites in Hérault, in Pignan, Castries and Castelnau-le-Lys, in sight of the prefecture, inspection services and, therefore, the justice system.
They are accused of employing 130 Portuguese employees since July 2015, via a temporary Portuguese company that has no activity in Portugal. Hence the suspicion and accusation of violating the postal workers law.
The construction sites of the two companies must stop for 3 months while continuing to pay the salaries of the existing employees. They will then have to continue with the new providers.

Legal legal arrangement for fraudulent use
According to our colleagues from France blue Hérault, a French company based in Perpignan called a Portuguese temporary employment agency. They both had the same or nearly the same manager: father and daughter.
Since 2015, sent workers must be declared under very strict conditions.
If these statements were indeed made by the two companies, a small investigation by the prefecture of Herault has shown The Portuguese Provisional Company had no activity in Portugal, but only in France. This is forbidden.
Because obviously the labor law is different in Portugal: we are 35 hours away and the social fee is 25-30% cheaper there.
The damage to URSSAF is not estimated, but it is massive, with 130 staff members on loan for a year since July 2015.
