Summary
Which sectors are covered by the single integration contract (CUI)?
The single integration contract concerns both the market sector (the production of goods and services sold on the market) and the non-market sector (public sector, non-profit organisations, etc.).
If you work in the commercial sector, you will sign a CUI-CIE (Employment Initiative Contract). Otherwise, it will be a CUI-CAE (Employment Support Contract).
How to establish a CUI?
It consists of 2 distinct elements. First you sign:
- a initial individual agreementthat you conclude with your employer and the Pôle emploi, or with your employer and the President of the General Council if you receive the active solidarity income (RSA);
- then, the work contract.
What does the initial individual agreement contain?
The agreement you sign mentions the benefits to which you are entitled. You can thus benefit from:
- periods of work (or “immersion periods”) with one or more employers other than the one hiring you in CUI to gain more experience. They must last maximum 1 month and do not suspend your contract ;
- periods of professional training in the company, intended to enrich your CV;
- validation of acquired experience (VAE).
It must also give you:
- a tutor to guide you through the company;
- a Pôle emploi adviser who carries out personalized follow-up.
What are the working conditions and salaries?
Working time must be understood between a minimum of 20 hours and a maximum of 35 hours per week. Your salary must be equal to or higher than the minimum wage.
How long is your CUI?
The agreement lasts from 6 to 24 months. The employment contract can be:
- a CDD (fixed-term contract): in this case, it cannot be less than the duration of the agreement;
- a CDI (open-ended contract): in this case, it continues after the end of the agreement.
