portage salarial

Heard of it in French but never been self-employed in an English-speaking country.
This is a deal whereby you are self-employed, but a company bills your clients on your behalf, pays your pension, healtcare and other benefits, takes a cut, and they gives you what's left over as a salary.
Any ideas?

Comment: "Yep, sounds like that's the term. By the way, do any of you use the services of these "umbrella" firms? I get letters from the people at Blenner Strategies a couple of times a year and wonder if I'd be better off shedding all the paperwork... Maybe a forum subject?"

umbrella facility
Was what I found in this bilingual site (not that I'm too convinced):
Hachette defines it as "system which allows a self-employed person to obtain the social welfare advantages of employee status"; i.e., the company pays the freelancer's social costs.

question/suggestion
Who are the target audience/readership? If it's US English, the concept may have to be explained. At least, I'm self-employed and I've never heard of such a deal.
Also... Tell me how to get it!

: you don't need it in the US. we need it in France to avoid paying a fortune in URSSAF, sécu, CIPAV and the like.

thanks, sarahl - but have you ever looked at self-employment taxation in the US? When that's added on top of PPO healthcare, retirement funds, etc., it does begin to rival European taxation.

staffing companies with benefit plans
I don't know of one word, but the staffing companies are the kind of company you are referring to and some do employee benefit and compensation PLANS.
There's that one that begins with an A, can't think of it, right now. It's all over the place...

FINAL: to describe the portage, I would say:

In context, that will be understood...

Actually, you do that while you are employed, but if your stint is up and they don\'t find another one for you, you don\'t carry anything...:)
