The process of portage with ACPI :

3. we bill the client company for the consultant's services as scheduled in the service contract
4. we absorb all associated HR charges (government taxes, medical and social, unemployment schemes, etc.)
5. we pay the consultant his monthly salary and deal with additional work expenses if necessary.
