Question 10720 — employment and activity

Summary

Mr. Régis Juanico questions the Minister of Labor about the possibility of using the fixed-term employment contract (CDD) customary in the events sector. Between 1998 and 2014, France will have hosted the biggest events, particularly sporting events. As such, French companies have real know-how and real skills to highlight and develop. But the events industry suffers from the absence legal tool adapted to provide for the hiring of employees called upon to collaborate in the reception and organization of events. This tool exists: it is the customary fixed-term contract, as provided for in 3° of article L. 1242-2 of the labor code. Different sectors for which common law fixed-term contracts are not suitable can already use them: ship repair, training, catering-hotels, etc. In the events sector, some Companies, in particular reception and security service providers, are waiting for the possibility of being able to use the usual fixed-term contract because the waiting periods imposed by “classic” fixed-term contracts increasingly complicate their activity during certain periods of high event intensity. To prevent such situations from continuing indefinitely, the legislator has entrusted the regulatory power - and subsidiarily to the social partners - the care to detect the sectors of activity in which “it is constant practice not to resort to the employment contract of indefinite duration” in order to suspend, in these particular cases, the application of dissuasive measures. Also, he asks the Government's intentions regarding an extension of the list of sectors authorized to use the customary fixed-term contract to the events sector.
