#1 Understanding and reading a work contract

In the entertainment sector, numerous clauses are frequently included in artists' employment contracts without being properly drafted or understood (transfer of image rights, exclusivity clause, practice of high-risk sports, etc.).

#2 Getting paid as a contractor  

Fees, services, hours: what's the difference? Is it really forbidden to earn two fees in the same day? Can I be paid a fee for rehearsals? What is the minimum fee? What do collective agreements say? What about social security and France Travail?

#3 Managing your image rights

Image rights or neighboring rights? Under what conditions can the company use performers' images? Is a clause in the employment contract sufficient? Can the dancer refuse to be filmed? Is remuneration compulsory?
