Employers, continue to protect the health of your employees when they leave containment!
State of health emergency against Covid-19 in force. Now more than ever, the general obligation to safeguard employee health and safety must be the subject of constant reflection within companies. The French Labour Code requires employers to take the necessary measures to ensure the health and safety of their employees, Developments in risk assessment must be recorded in the single risk assessment document, which must be updated regularly to take account of changes in the health situation, This document will make it possible to demonstrate that the employer is complying with its prevention obligation. We also advise you to send your employees a document, which may take the form of an internal memo of recommendations or a circular, designed to indicate all the measures implemented in the Company as well as the barrier measures that must be adopted by the employees themselves (strict rules of distancing and hygiene) to ensure that the action plan implemented is effective and efficient. To keep employees informed, this document should be displayed on the Company's premises. An employee support committee may also be set up, in close collaboration with the occupational physician. In order to assess the occupational risks associated with the transmission of COVID-19 at an early stage and to implement the appropriate measures, we invite you to refer to the Occupational Advice Sheets and guides for employees and employers set up by the Ministry of Labour. A practical sheet is dedicated to each sector of activity.- derogatory work stoppages
- the management of paid holidays and RTT
- partial activity
- health, hygiene and safety at work.
Frequently asked questions
What are the advantages of legal support for a business owner?
A lawyer helps you anticipate risks, secure your contracts, and comply with legal obligations. He advises you on strategic decisions (hiring, contract termination, transfer) and represents you in case of litigation. This avoids costly mistakes.
Can I manage the current acts of my company alone without a lawyer?
Yes, for simple documents (quotes, invoices, standard contracts), you can do without a lawyer. But for sensitive documents (dismissal, non-competition clause, litigation), the assistance of a lawyer is strongly recommended to avoid nullities or convictions.
What are the costs of a lawyer for a company?
Fees can be fixed (e.g., €2,000 for an annual consultation) or based on time spent (€200 to €500 per hour). Some lawyers offer monthly subscriptions for regular follow-up. Request a personalized quote.
What are the risks if I do not consult a lawyer for a commercial dispute?
You risk losing the case due to lack of evidence or legal arguments, or being ordered to pay higher damages. A lawyer assesses your chances, prepares arguments, and can negotiate a settlement.
What to do if I cannot afford a lawyer for my business?
You can apply for legal aid if your income is modest (subject to resource conditions). Some lawyers offer free consultations or reduced fees for start-ups. Compare several quotes.
