OETH application in Saint-Martin: turning obligation into opportunity
In France, the obligation to employ disabled workers The OETH (Obligation to Employ Disabled Workers) requires companies with at least 20 employees to employ people with disabilities at a rate of 6% of their workforce. While this law remains unfamiliar to some employers, others prefer to pay the fine rather than recruit, thus prioritizing the financial contribution over inclusion.
