Do you dream of a job that fits in perfectly with your life as a mum? Self-employed door-to-door salespeople (VDI) are the ideal solution for mums who want to reconcile family commitments and work without the constraints of a salaried job.
By becoming a fashion consultants for Elora, the home-based clothing sales specialist, you'll have the flexibility you need to look after your children while generating an income at your own pace. It's the ideal job for striking the perfect work-life balance!
Rethink your career after the birth of a child
In France, when a child is born or adopted, private-sector employees can take parental leave. They can interrupt or reduce their working hours to look after their children under the age of three, provided they have been with the company for at least one year. Whether full-time or part-time, parental leave offers the certainty of returning to work at the end of the leave.
During parental leave, the employee is not paid by the employer for the period not worked. They may, however, receive certain benefits from the Caisse d'allocations familiales (CAF), such as the basic allowance of the childcare benefit for young children (Paje) or the shared child-rearing benefit (PreParE), to compensate in part for the loss of income.
Is it possible to combine parental leave with work?
According to article L1225-53 of the Labour Code, it is not possible to hold down another job while on full-time parental leave, with the exception of working as a childminder. It is therefore not possible to combine VDI and parental leave.
Combining a VDI activity with part-time parental leave may be authorised, provided that you comply with the legal limits on working hours, inform your employer and agree the new working hours. You should also check with your CAF to find out the conditions for entitlement to the shared childcare benefit (PreParE).
