All-round Payroll : from Setup to Service and Support
As a payroll services provider in France, we are here to help you from the very beginning.
Setting up your Payroll in France: registration services & obligatory insurances
There is some regulatory compliance that must be dealt with when hiring in France. Our French payroll services start there.
After drafting a bilingual employment contract, My Payroll Pro France will sign up your employee with the social security URSSAF via the pre-employment declaration ‘DPAE’.
This can be done the day before your employee starts so you don’t have to wait until the setup is fully complete. You will be covered from day one in case of an audit.
If the Foreign Employer Status applies to you, we will simultaneously register as your local representative with the Centre National des Firmes Etrangères (CNFE). Within two to three weeks, we will receive the ID number necessary for your payroll processing.
Once we have the company ID number, we will set up the employee benefits in France. This includes registering your employee to the complementary retirement scheme, and setting up additional health care and life insurance. We will provide further payroll services – like registering with the tax office and the occupational health center.
Monthly Processing: French Payroll Services, Step by Step
