Episode link: <a href="https://www.householdstaff.agency/podcast/french-household-contracts">https://www.householdstaff.agency/podcast/french-household-contracts</a> Morgan & Mallet co-founder Morgan Richez sits down with Ben W to unpack French labor law for private households. They cover the clauses, the trial periods, the payroll service, and the mistakes that cost families later. If you are hiring staff for a home in France, this is the plain-English rundown you need. Vague hours are the biggest cause of disputes, so spell out duties, hours, notice, and the trial period in writing.Keep a daily record of hours on both sides, family and staff, using an app or a simple log.Use a permanent CDI contract with the right trial period from day one. A CDD is only legal for genuinely temporary or seasonal work.A payroll service can act as the legal employer, which cuts the family's tax and admin load in France and keeps the owner discreet.Small clauses matter. Add an NDA to every contract, set clear live-in accommodation rules, and for a domestic couple agree what happens to one partner if the other leaves If you are hiring live-in staff, our <a href="https://www.householdstaff.agency/live-in-household-staff-us-guide/">plain-English guide to live-in rules, contracts, and taxes</a> is the place to start.
