Question 11164 — professions and social activities

Summary

Ms. Christine Hennion questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about the personal services sector which, in 2016, employed more than 1.4 million people, working in 2.7 million individuals. The 18 different professions represented a total of 880 million hours in 2014. Among the different methods of remuneration for home-based employees in France, the pre-financed universal service employment check (CESU) comes into play. for 25 to 30% of the direct employment sector, with an annual issue volume of around 1 billion euros, for the benefit of a million users to pay 300,000 employees at home. The pre-financed CESU can be 100% financed by a company, a CE, a community, an association or co-financed with users (employees, agents, vulnerable people). For businesses, it is exempt from social security contributions and allows benefit from a tax credit on the amounts paid. Article 42 of the social security financing law for 2017 made it possible to extend the use of the pre-financed CESU by offering users the possibility of paying social contributions using this payment document, but this measure has still not come into force. At present, no concrete steps have been taken by the administration to implement this development, while it presents numerous advantages for all stakeholders in the sector. Requested by numerous private and public financiers to solvency the totality of the personal services expenses of their beneficiaries, this development constitutes a lever for simplifying administrative procedures for users who will thus be able to pay the salary and employer contributions of their caregiver in the same movement, instead of two distinct approaches today; it contributes to the rise of the digitalization of procedures, since dematerialized payment is technically possible for employer contributions; it contributes to the drying up of undeclared work, since the payment of contributions (synonymous with declaration of hours worked by the employee) will be made at the same time as the payment of the salary ; finally, it represents a measure of support, or even relaunch of personal services since we can anticipate that the demand for pre-financed CESU, a 100% traceable payment tool and specifically targeted for professions in the sector, would experience a significant increase from users. Also, she would like to know the actions that the Government plans to put in place to make this measure operational. effective as well as the deadlines for its effectiveness.
