Yes. Many companies in France pay their workers a bonus known as the ‘13th month’. This 13th month’s salary is intended to help French workers pay their taxes.
13th month pay is calculated based on either a single month salary, or four weeks salary, depending on how compensation and payroll are structured.
Depending on the company, it can be paid annually, in December or January, or at intervals, with some being paid in June and the rest at the end of the year.
In practice, no. One approach is to set compensation at an annual rate, and then divide that by 13 to arrive at monthly gross salary. That way, the 13th month bonus will not be an additional employment cost, and could be included in the employment contract as a part of annual stated compensation.
Yes. 13th month salary payments are included as part of your employee’s total gross salary and are taxed accordingly.
