  1. thanks to everyone who has responded to the various queries we've posted... hopefully this is the final one. does anyone know of a www site that offers examples of what a typical pay slip (bulletin de salaire) should / would look like. there's nothing on the cesu site but, perhaps there is a piece of software that can be downloaded so that an employer can create their own correct payslips? or... is it correct that, once payment has been recieved via the cesu cheque system (or otherwise) and the employer has done what they're meant to do, then the attestation that the employee should recieve from the cesu acts as one and the same? any information / suggestions gratefully recieved. thanks, neil (24) nb: this is on behalf of my partner who is an employee - we are not employers!
  2. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to aiding a bit more understanding of the whole SMIC 'thing'. Two more questions: With the difference between the gross (8.44) and the net (7.16) being 1.28 and that being deducted at source - what does this go toward... tax / health or both or other items? Further to which, IF the employee in a single tax year hasn't earned enough on which to pay tax (if this is part of the 1.28), can this be claimed back? If the employer pays by personal cheque / cash (thanks Dominique for clearing this up), how long does the employer have to pay the amount that has been deducted from the employee's pay - and how long do they have to pay their own (employer's) contributions. Is this mandatory on a monthly basis or could it be that the employer would only need to pay up every (say) 6 or 12 months? All info gratefully recieved, Neil (24)
  3. dominique many many thanks... very helpful, clear and concise. rgds neil (24)
  4. there isn't one so far as i know your best bet is via the internet as in my experience, immobiliers in france are absolutely useless in marketing property and tend to rely on people coming t them / looking in shop windows etc... it took me over 9 mnths to sell where i used to live in the charente before we moved here to 24... and, that was after being ring-fenced by every estate agent (immo) for miles and the sale (and proper interest in the house) only came about after it went up as a private sale on the internet diy is probably your best bet regards neil (24)
  5. A number of people on here have been really helpful in clarifying a few of our queries - nb: from the employee's perspective - however... what we're still trying to get to the bottom of is: a) Can an employer to pay salary x by any means - cash / normal cheque or should it only be by using the special CESU cheques... or could it be one method one month, another method in a different month? Or does the method of payment matter at all because... If salary x can be paid in any manner - it logically follows that the employer still has to make the relevant contributions as if salary x was being paid using the CESU cheques - presumably a bit less time-efficient for the employer but... hey, thats the employer's problem. b) What do the two figures - 7.16 & 8.44 - refer to that have been bandied back and forth on various threads as being the hourly minimum salary? The 8.44 is on the actualites sociales hebdomaires (7 sept 2007) document that I collected from our local social services last week and, I believe, refers to the mimimum hourly gross wage payable - its clearly noted there as salaire minimum (SMIC). And in which case, how or where does the 7.16 figure fit into the equation? And, can anyone shed any further light into this dark tunnel? Many thanks Neil (24)  
  6. clair thanks - yes... all that you've written makes perfect sense... nb: this is from the employee's perspective (and written on behalf of my partner who is the employee). what we're still trying to get to the bottom of is: a) is it correct for the employer to pay salary x by any means - cash / normal cheque or should it only be by using the special cheques... or could it be one method one month, another method in a different month? if salary x can be paid in any manner - ie, cash / normal cheque, it logically follows that the employer (still) has to make the relevant contributions as if salary x was being paid using the special cheques - presumably a bit less time-efficient for the employer but... hey, thats the employer's problem. b) what do the two figures - 7.16 & 8.44 refer to? The former is understood but, neither of us can fathom out what the 8.44 refers to - it is on the actualites sociales hebdomaires (7 sept 2007) document that i collected from social services last week and, so far as i was led to believe by them, refers to the mimimum hourly wage payable - its clearly noted there as salaire minimum (SMIC)... can anyone clarify this? many thanks neil (24)    
  7. perhaps i'm being really stupid here but... can someone, somewhere, explain the difference between the two figures (7.14 or 7.16 & 8.44) in simplistic terms... am i right in thinking that employer x pays employee y at a gross rate of z... then, using the system of of the special cheque book, employer pays certain deductions at the end of the financial year, the employee declares income paid in this manner and, of course, pays his / her own taxes as calculated. or... does it work another way? any help in this veritable minefield gratefully recieved neil (24)  
  8. clair - useful info... i think.... but, it throws up another conundrum... last week, i collected a copy of a document from our local social services that showed the current minimum hourly rate as being 8.44... a far cry from the 7.16 mentioned... this, i think, has also been mentioned by others on the forum (whilst searching for info yesterday). some questions (these are actually on behalf of my partner): a) is the rate 7.14 / 7.16 and, if so, where does the 8.44 come into the equation? fyi, the document i have reads as follows: salaire minimum (SMIC): taux horaire brut 8.44 (below this is s 'saise des renumerations section... that i take to mean the amount that one's employer should be paying in contributions... ie, 5% to 275.83 monthly / 10% between the above figure and 541.67 etc etc with increments to 20 / 25.5 / 33.3% etc. b) is there a way of checking to find out if one's employer is actually paying the contributions they should be? c) do the hours actually worked weekly make any difference - eg, she usually works about 30 hours or thereabouts. and does the age of the empyee make any odds at all? d) if one is given a normal straightforward cheque as opposed to the 'correct' kind, does this make a difference? or should one always be paid using the 'correct' chq book?   any info with regard to the above would be really helpful. many thanks neil (24)
