Salary Portage in Luxembourg:
Freedom with Security
What Is Salary Portage?
Salary portage is a hybrid model that combines the independence of freelancing with the security of traditional employment. Originating in France (portage salarial), this system allows professionals to carry out freelance missions while benefiting from the protections of employee status.
In this three-party model, the freelancer signs a permanent working contract with a company providing this salary portage service (like Payrolla). That company then invoices the client and pays the freelancer a monthly salary—after deducting taxes and social charges. The freelancer remains autonomous in their work, while gaining access to full social security, health coverage, and pension rights.
With Payrolla, you benefit from a unique salary portage model in Luxembourg that offers the flexibility of freelance work and the stability of a full-time contract. Your salary is paid every month (even before the client's invoice being paid), and you enjoy access to one of the most generous social protection systems in Europe.
And thanks to its business model based on Operation Excellence and Automation, Payrolla is the guarantee of the highest purchasing power.
