Here's a comprehensive guide to remuneration and pay slips in France. Updated 2011.In France the SMIC is the legal minimum wage any employee can be paid.
Since 1 July 2009, the SMIC has stood at EUR 8.82 gross per hour (EUR 6.93 net) which totals to EUR 1337.70 gross per month (EUR 1050.63 net) for a 35-hour week.
Only apprentices and young employees may be paid less than the SMIC. Collective agreements set minimum wage levels in line with the employee’s qualifications. These wage levels may never be lower than the SMIC.
In France, only social security contributions are deducted from an employee’s pay. Tax is not deducted at source. Employees must declare their income in their annual tax return in May (for example: the declaration made in May 2009 relates to the income for the year 2008).
The difference between gross and net pay is about 22 percent.

- any amounts not subject to social security contributions (refund of professional expenses)
- the net amount actually paid to the employee
- the date of payment of this net amount
- the dates of any paid leave included in the payment period and the corresponding allowance.
