A brief guide to hiring in France
How is payroll managed in France?
In France, employees typically receive a monthly salary. Each employee must be enrolled in their employer’s Mutuelle (health insurance scheme) and Prevoyance (welfare scheme), unless they opt for private schemes. Additionally, strict employment contracts, often in dual languages, are required. These contracts must comply with the relevant collective bargaining agreement and reflect the employee’s seniority.
What are the sick leave regulations?
Employees in France are generally entitled to paid sick leave. The duration of this leave can be up to 90 days, depending on the employee’s seniority, but they must have completed at least one year of service with the company. A medical certificate is necessary for any sick leave period.
What should be considered when dismissing an employee?
Employment rights in France are rigorously enforced, so it’s advisable to consult with one of our employment law advisors before initiating any dismissal actions. The process of dismissal can be lengthy and involves a series of mandatory steps. We can manage all aspects of this process to ensure full compliance.
