Whether you have decided to hire a housekeeper to free up your time, a childminder to take care of your children or a home helper to take care of your elders, you will have to establish an employment contract with your employee. and set his salary.
To help you with this tedious task, here are some things to consider.
A progressive base salary
If as an individual you employ an employee, using in particular the declaration tools that are the Cesu or Pajemploi, be aware that a minimum income is required.
Indeed, the gross hourly wage cannot be lower than the hourly minimum wage, in this case €10.57 gross (€8.25 net), or the minimum hourly wage provided for by the collective agreement for personal services which governs Your contract.
In all cases, the most advantageous amount applies.
Thus, including the paid vacation allowance (10% of the gross salary), the minimum hourly wage amounts to €11.63 gross, or €9.07 net.
Nevertheless, depending on the responsibilities, diplomas and skills of your household employee, their remuneration can be much higher.
If you do not know how to set a fair amount, you can use the tool made available by the professional branch of the employees of the private employer, which allows you to remunerate your employee as he should.
For this, go to the site: Simulator-emploisalarieduparticulieremployer.fr.
The payment of the salary must then be made on a fixed date and at the latest on the last day of the month.
It can be paid by bank transfer, check, Cesu or cash (up to €1,500).
If the Cesu or Pajemploi are not used for your declarations, a payslip must be given to the employee.
Extra time
If your employee is required to work overtime, this must also be paid.
This remuneration then depends on the duration of the work.
If it is regular, that is to say that the contract provides for a fixed weekly working time or periods of work which are repeated regularly, the increase per overtime hour is set at 25% for the first 8 hours and at 50 % for the following hours, as long as the working time exceeds 40 hours per week.
They must be paid monthly or recovered within 12 months as part of compensatory rest.
If the working time is irregular, i.e. it does not correspond to the two previous criteria, the increase per overtime applies when the number of actual working hours exceeds an average of 40 hours per week calculated on 8 consecutive weeks.
The rate is fixed in the same way: 25% for the first 8 hours and 50% for the following hours.
Night work
It is not uncommon for human service employees to work night shifts.
This is particularly the case for childcare or life assistants.
In these specific configurations, compensation is also provided for by law.
Thus, if the employee intervenes only once on certain nights, he receives a fixed indemnity, the amount of which cannot be less than a quarter of his hourly wage.

If he has to intervene two or three times on certain nights, the amount increases to a third.
Finally, if the interventions are more frequent (at least four times), he is paid normally during this period of time.
