French payroll and paperwork, explained in plain English
A payslip organized in seven zones, a social security number to obtain, a carte Vitale to request, sometimes an impatriation tax regime worth understanding: settling into France takes method. OMAC supports expatriates and their employers at every step, with clear explanations in English and paperwork handled properly in French.
Working in France means affiliation to French social security, and it is the employer's responsibility to open those rights. An employee born abroad first receives a provisional number, then definitive registration, before ordering a carte Vitale. Since July 2023 the payslip presents its mandatory mentions in seven zones, including the montant net social.
Add work authorization for nationals of countries outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland, whose documents the employer must verify before the start date, and for some arrivals the impatriation tax regime, which can apply until the end of the eighth calendar year after taking up the post. OMAC clarifies these subjects without replacing your tax advisers.
