Introduction
Many foreign investors avoid to hire in France because they believe wrongly that it is impossible to fire an employee.
This preconception is false for the following reasons:
- Firstly, an employee can be dismissed without cause during the trial period.
- Secondly, once the trial period is over, you only have to ensure that:
the dismissal can be justified by a real and serious cause,
you comply with a specific procedure which is pretty straightforward. - Thirdly and this is important, since the introduction of the Macron scale of compensation, the financial risk is limited.
