> My rationale is that when your French boss give you a sweat euro. He give 1 euro to the French gov as well for your unemployment / medical / retirement fund.

And if you are a foreign company, you are exempt from this law? I find that hard to believe.

In this case most likely OP will not be 'employed', they will be self employed and working through a business to business relationship with the US company. In that case they will need to pay their own social security contributions in France, where as if you are employed it is paid by the employer/comes out of your gross salary.

To be 'employed' the US company would need to setup a legal entity in France, and ensure they are compliant with all French labour laws, which doesn't really make sense for them to do for a single person.

If a company do business legally in France and hire worker there, they will pay taxes in regards to labors laws

Those represent roughly the amount the employee gets ( net )
