France is one of the countries with the highest employer costs in Europe. Approximately 45% of the employee’s gross salary needs to be added on top of the gross salary in order to calculate the total employment cost in France.
If you do not have an office in France, you will need a service like IPS to calculate and pay these additional employer costs correctly according to French law. With international payroll in France from IPS, you can ensure that your employee is paid compliantly according to French law.
As your international payroll service in France, we make sure you are equipped with the information you need.
When an employee becomes sick in France, the employee has 48 hours to notify the employer as well as the CPAM (the organisation for basic health insurance). The doctor signs a note called a ‘avis d’arrêt de travail’. This is sent to the employer and the CPAM.
In France one receives 2.5 days of holiday for every month worked. The equates to 30 days a year.
There are 11 national public holidays.
There is no notice period for the first 6 months of employment. Thereafter, it is one month and increases to 2 months for employees who have been with the company for two years or more. For middle and senior managers it is 3 months. In the case of dismissal for personal reasons (disciplinary, personal), a discussion with the employee must have taken place beforehand in which the reasons for dismissal were communicated and an attempt was made to reach an agreement. In the case of economic reasons, all possibilities must have been exhausted (e.g. retraining/adaptation) to enable the employee to continue working in the company. The employee’s notice period is determined by contract. A termination agreement can also be concluded to end the employment relationship. However, this is subject to strict formal requirements.
There is a legal entitlement to severance pay if the notice of termination is given by the employer and the employee has been continuously employed by the company for more than one year.
