salariées

Salariées refers to female employees, specifically those who work for an employer under a contract of employment. In French labor law, the term "salariée" distinguishes women who are paid workers from other categories of workers such as independent contractors, business owners, or those in unpaid roles. This legal designation carries specific rights and protections related to working conditions, social security, and benefits, which are generally aligned with those of male employees ("salariés"). The distinction often arises in discussions related to gender equality in the workplace, parental leave, and issues that disproportionately affect women, such as the gender pay gap. It is a term used within legal, administrative, and sociological contexts to describe a specific demographic within the workforce. The rights and obligations associated with being a salariée are defined by national labor codes and collective bargaining agreements.
