New Regulations Require Mandatory Registration and Contribution Payments

The Union de recouvrement des cotisations de Sécurité sociale et d'allocations familiales (URSSAF) has implemented new social security regulations that mandate registration and contribution payments for foreign domestic workers in France.

Key Points

• Foreign domestic workers must now be registered with the French social security system.

These regulations aim to ensure that foreign domestic workers have access to essential social protections, including healthcare, unemployment benefits, and retirement pensions.
