If you own or are starting a business in France and want to hire staff, you will need to familiarize yourself with French regulations on employee benefits. As an employer, you will have to comply with a certain number of social obligations.
All employees in France must have company medical, and most of them must have a death & disability coverage. It is therefore your responsibility to provide an insurance plan tailored to your business. The medical plan will reimburse medical expenses on top of French Social Security benefits. Offering your employees a comfortable level of coverage is an undeniable asset when it comes to building staff loyalty.
When it comes to choosing your insurance partners, certain specific features specially designed for international companies will be useful, such as the option of:
– choosing a retrospective effective date,
– paying your premiums by transfer from a foreign bank account,
– taking out your insurance before obtaining your registration (SIRET) number,
– entrusting the administrative aspects to your payroll firm, etc.
These items will help make it easier for you to hire staff in France.
