Employer of Record FAQs in France
What is an Employer of Record in France?
An Employer of Record (EOR) in France is a legal entity that employs your workforce on your behalf, managing all employment obligations including French Labor Code compliance, payroll processing, social charge contributions (URSSAF), mandatory benefits, and tax withholding. You maintain operational control while the EOR handles legal and administrative responsibilities.
How quickly can I hire employees in France through Asanify?

Do I need to establish a French company to hire employees?
No, you do not need to establish a French legal entity when using an EOR. Asanify serves as the legal employer, allowing you to hire French talent immediately without the complexity, cost, and time required for French company registration and compliance.
What are employer costs in France?
Employer costs in France are significant due to social charges. Total employer contributions typically add 40-45% to gross salary, covering health insurance, pension, unemployment insurance, family allowances, and other URSSAF charges. Combined employer and employee charges total approximately 65-80% of gross salary. Asanify provides transparent pricing covering all obligations.

Asanify calculates and remits all French social charges (charges sociales) to URSSAF, including health insurance, pension contributions, unemployment insurance, family allowances, and other mandatory contributions. We submit monthly declarations (DSN РD̩claration Sociale Nominative) and ensure full compliance with French social security requirements.
What are the termination requirements in France?
French terminations are highly regulated with strict procedures. Notice periods typically range from 1-3 months depending on tenure and role. Employees on CDI contracts have strong protections requiring legitimate grounds for termination. Asanify manages all termination procedures, notice periods, severance calculations, and required documentation to ensure Labor Code compliance.
What is the difference between CDI and CDD contracts?
CDI (Contrat à Durée Indéterminée) is a permanent contract with no fixed end date and strong employee protections. CDD (Contrat à Durée Déterminée) is a fixed-term contract permitted only for specific situations like temporary replacements or seasonal work, with strict duration limits. Asanify advises on appropriate contract types and ensures compliance with French regulations.
What mandatory benefits are required in France?
Mandatory benefits in France include minimum 5 weeks paid leave (congés payés), social security coverage, complementary health insurance (mutuelle), paid public holidays, sick leave, maternity/paternity leave, and mandatory profit-sharing (for companies over 50 employees). Meal vouchers and transport subsidies are also common. Asanify administers all statutory benefits.
How does the 35-hour work week affect employment?
France’s standard work week is 35 hours, though collective agreements may vary this. Work beyond 35 hours typically requires overtime compensation or time off in lieu (RTT – Réduction du Temps de Travail). Asanify ensures employment contracts and time tracking comply with French working time regulations and applicable collective agreements.
