Legal obligations: which ones are incumbent on the employer?
The payment of remuneration and the delivery of a compliant payslip are obligations arising from the signing of the employment contract binding the employer to the employee. The remuneration of security guards cannot be lower than the conventional minimum wage ( which must not be lower than the legal minimum wage ) of the CCN for prevention and security guard companies if they work in a service company specializing in private security.
