Company executives must comply with a number of legal obligations with respect to providing social protection to employees, as well as constraints imposed as part of collective bargaining agreements, breaches of which could harm the company.

Your obligations
Since 1 January 2016, every employer in France must provide their employees with complementary health insurance (French law n°2013-504 of 14 June 2013). Group complementary health insurance solutions enable you to offer your employees appropriate healthcare coverage (including more favourable direct settlement system and negotiated rates for dental and eye care). You can choose from a variety of solutions formulae to find the right one for your company’s specific needs.
Group protection insurance covers every employee against lost income due to being unfit to work, either temporarily or definitively, and guarantees a benefit is paid to the named next of kin in the event of death. It also includes additional support beyond that provided by standard social security, via the payment of compensation, annuities or a lump sum.
Group insurance is not compulsory apart from for managers in accordance with the company’s collective agreements or if there is an industry-wide agreement in place.
Tax-efficient solutions for your company
In addition to the legal aspects, taking out mandatory group health and/or protection insurance for your employees allows you to benefit from real advantages in terms of tax and social security charges:
- Social security: exemption from social security contributions, reduced employer contribution for companies with more than 10 employees;
- Tax: employer and employee contributions deductible from corporate income tax.
A policy that benefits your employees
The decision to implement any complementary cover represents a key step in a company’s development to improve employee well-being.
It boosts motivation, employee retention and dialogue with employee representatives within your company.
Moreover, your employees can in the majority of cases benefit from a “group” rate that is more attractive than the contributions they would be required to make if they were to have taken out the policy individually, thanks to the company’s financial contribution.
