Sociale verzekeringen in Frankrijk: wat moet je weten als werkgever?

It’s becoming more noticeable: Belgian companies are increasingly choosing to expand into Northern France. But what makes this region so attractive, and how should you approach this move if you’re considering a similar step?

On April 24, France introduced an important legislative change regarding the accumulation of leave days during employee illness. This change was introduced to align French labor law with European regulations. Now, employees can partially accumulate paid leave (80%) during periods of illness.

Anyone who does not live in France but works there physically (full-time or part-time) is required to pay this withholding tax. One of the main reasons this system is attractive for non-residents is its relatively low tax rates.
