COLLECTIVE AGREEMENTS

Collective agreements are signed between employers' organisations and employees' unions in a sector of activity. They supplement and improve the provisions of the Labour Code by introducing more favourable provisions or not provided for in them, such as minimum wages, a pension scheme, etc.
 
 To find out which national collective agreement the company depends on:
  1. Determine the main activity in terms of turnover (NAF EPA codes);
  2. Refer to the'interbranch agreement to define the sector to which the company belongs;
  3. Verify in the first articles of the National Collective Agreement that you are entering the National Collective Agreement field.

The live performance is covered by 3 collective agreements:
Public sector :
National Collective Agreement for Arts and Cultural Enterprises
  
Private sector:
1/ National Collective Agreement for Private Performing Arts Companies
 
2/ Collective agreement of the technical enterprises serving the creation and the event

Since 18 May 2011, Article 8 of the Law on simplification and improvement of the quality of the law stipulates that employers under the GUSO (cf. below) must "when they employ an artist or a performance technician, make them benefit from the provisions of a collective agreement of the activities of the show and refer to them in the form of declaration of employment".
