Hiring Cuban musicians resident in Spain
Monday, 04 July 2005
“Our association is about to hire musicians of Cuban origin resident in Spain for one date. Do we need to apply for a temporary work permit? Are the welfare contributions the same as for a French musician? Is the employment contract also the same?”
Your association must apply for temporary work permits for these Spanish residents even if they already have a work permit in Spain.
After checking with the department for population and migrations (in the ministry of employment, labour and social cohesion), it would appear that the Spanish permit is not valid in France.
Regarding welfare contributions, please refer to our fact sheet Foreign artist hired by a company based in France.
The employment contract you sign with these artists is governed in it is entirety by French legislation; the compulsory clauses are thus the same as those required in a contract with a French artist. The contract must be drafted and drawn up in French. A foreign employee is entitled to demand that a translation of the contract into his language be drafted (art. L. 121-1 of the labour code).
