What is the average salary for temporary workers in France?

Basic salary, gross and net hourly rate, additional elements, bonuses, end-of-assignment allowances or holiday pay... Which temporary worker has not given up after 2 seconds when trying to understand his payslip?

In the end, what counts is the salary you will have left at the end of the month, or at the end of the assignment for temporary assignments of less than a month. This is what we call the net salary.

To find out the average salary in France, you need to look at the salaries of many temps over a year. Here are some figures for the year 2019, according to the sectors of activity. This is the hourly rate:
- electrician: 11.88 euros per hour;
- stock manager: 10.94 euros per hour;
- order picker: 10.37 euros per hour;

As a minimum, you will earn in the interim in 2021 :
- 10.25 gross per hour;
- 1589.47 gross monthly
- 1 258.25 net per month.

In addition, there are bonuses or other company benefits that only your temporary employment agency can tell you about. And of course the precariousness allowance at the end of the contract, equivalent to 10 % of the gross salary you earned.

How are you paid as a temp?

It is the temporary employment agency that sends you your pay slip and makes the payment or cheque. You are never paid directly by the company where you work as a temp.

It is therefore primarily the temporary employment agency that you should contact to gain a better understanding of your salary and payslip.

Sometimes the temporary employment agency may make payments to you more frequently than monthly.

Why do people earn more in temporary employment?

By definition, temporary work is a 'precarious' contract. Hence the payment of precariousness allowances, and the net and gross salary is higher than those paid outside the temping period.

However, in a department like the Gers, there are always vacancies for temporary workers. You will therefore have 2 advantages in adopting temporary employment in Auch:
- You will receive the precariousness bonuses;
- You will have the opportunity to take on a series of temporary assignments throughout the year in and around Auch.
