A three-party status that lets a transition manager work with full autonomy while keeping employee-level coverage.
Umbrella employment (portage salarial) is a three-way relationship between an independent professional (the “employee-consultant”), an umbrella company, and a client business. The consultant finds their own assignments and negotiates their own terms just like an independent, but the umbrella company invoices the client, collects the fees, and pays a salary to the consultant — complete with a payslip, social security contributions, and the associated rights (unemployment insurance, pension, provident coverage).
For a transition manager moving from one client assignment to the next every few months, setting up a company each time would be impractical. Umbrella employment offers a stable, quick-to-activate legal framework: no company formation, employee-level social coverage, and delegated administrative management (invoicing, follow-ups, filings).
In exchange for this management, the umbrella company withholds a management fee — generally between 5% and 10% of invoiced revenue, depending on volume and contract terms. What remains, after social contributions, is the transition manager’s net compensation.
At MT-Transition, the status chosen (umbrella employment, own company, or another structure) depends on the manager’s profile and the assignment structure — we work through this with each candidate upfront.
