Cheque Emploi contract


Hereford

Recommended Posts

Hello

The APA (help for the aged at home) claim for my mother has now been approved and we have found a person to help care for her. We have to use the cheque emploi system and this is not problem as we have used the system for some years for gardening etc.

However, unlike casual gardening, we need to give our "aide" a contract for 14 hours a week. I have printed off the standard contract from the CESU website but there are a couple of things I do not understand. Several of you have been so helpful over the paperwork etc to get the APA that I am hopeful that you can help over this too please.

1:  Item 7 of the contract says tick box for "Employe de maison" OR "Employe familiaux" (sorry no accents using a laptop). I don't think this means a family member but the type of job. Further boxes headed "postes d'emploi a caractere familial"  include "assistant de vie" so I think this is what I should tick. Would this be right?

2: Hours worked: the 14 hours a week will mostly be 2 hours per morning for 5 days a week and 4 extra hours for when we need them, so "by agreement". The contract has boxes to put actual hours per day or the week but we want to be more flexible than that, and the person we are employing is happy with that flexibility.  Can I just leave boxes blank and put "as agreed" (in French obviously).

3. I assume that as the job is part-time and flexible  I can ignore boxes  about "day off" and which public holidays are worked.

Many thanks in advance for any input from those of you who have either paid an "aide a domicile" this way or had a contract under CE.

PS I am going to write an article for a local Anglo/French association on getting help for elderly relatives (in fact one needs only to be over 60!!!) as I don't think many non-French realise that this help is readily available, I certainly did not.

Thanks Norman, yes I read it all but remain a bit confused.  Have decided to "go with" my gut feeling on the contract.  So long as the number of hours and the pay are right I think that will do.  I can discuss it with our helper anyway.
