Guso is a single-window administrative scheme for hiring an artist or a stage technician for the production of a live performance. Employers complete the declaration and pay social contributions in one place, on behalf of six social protection bodies in the sector, and Guso handles the withholding and transfer of income tax at source. It issues the employment contract, the monthly employment certificate that serves as a payslip for employees, the annual social data declaration, the employment certificate for France Travail and the certificate for Congés spectacles.

The service is intended for employers who do not have live performance production, broadcasting or venue operation as their main activity, including individuals, sole traders, associations, companies, works councils (CSE), hotels, restaurants and public bodies. It is mandatory, free of charge and implemented by France Travail, with the GIP Cafés Cultures as a partner. A Clap Talents profile bank is offered to event organisers looking to recruit performers or technicians.

Guso has operated since its creation in 1999. It runs a monthly webinar and publishes practical guides on declarations, including rehearsal hours and the performance entrepreneur licence.
