Employer registration
The Employer Registration in France service helps businesses establish a legal presence and fulfill their obligations when hiring employees in France. It involves registering the company with French authorities to ensure compliance with labor laws and social security requirements. This can be done by any foreign company as an employer without establishment in France. This process includes:
- Registering with URSSAF: Employers must register (E0 form) with the French social security system (URSSAF) to ensure proper contributions for social security, health, pensions, unemployment, and other mandatory employee benefits.
- Obtaining a SIRET Number: The employer needs to obtain a SIRET (Système d'Identification du Répertoire des Entreprises et de leurs Etablissements) number, which is a unique identifier for businesses in France.
- Declaring Employees: Employers are required to declare new hires to the French labor authorities, ensuring that employee contracts and wages are compliant with local labor laws.

Key Questions Answered
What is URSSAF-TFE?
URSSAF TFE stands for URSSAF – Travailleur Frontière Européenne, which translates to "URSSAF - European Cross-Border Worker." It refers to the specific registration process and social security contributions for employees or self-employed workers who live in one EU country but work in another, such as a French employer hiring someone who resides in another EU country.
In this context, URSSAF (the French social security agency) manages the social security obligations for workers in cross-border situations. The TFE status allows workers who are employed in one country but live in another to benefit from the appropriate social security coverage, including health insurance, pensions, and unemployment benefits, under the rules of the host country.
Essentially, it’s a process to ensure compliance with both local French social security laws and European regulations governing cross-border workers.
Can this service be used from any country?
Yes, a company from any country can use the URSSAF TFE service if they employ workers who live and work in France. The only requirement is that the country were the company is based has fiscal agreements with France.
For non-EU companies or those outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the process may involve additional steps or different rules, but it is possible in most of the cases.

Expertise in French Regulations: French labor and social security laws can be complex and nuanced. A local service provider is highly familiar with the rules governing cross-border workers and can help ensure compliance with French legislation, avoiding mistakes that could lead to penalties.
Language Barrier: The process of registering with URSSAF and dealing with French authorities is often conducted in French. A local service company can help overcome language barriers, ensuring clear communication and proper documentation.
Efficient Processing: A French service company will have the local knowledge and administrative experience to streamline the registration and compliance process, reducing delays and ensuring all steps are completed correctly.
Ongoing Support: Once the employee is registered, a local service provider can help with ongoing compliance, such as handling periodic reporting, social security contributions, and addressing any issues that may arise in relation to labor law or employee rights in France.
Risk Mitigation: Errors in registration or non-compliance with French social security and labor laws can result in significant penalties or legal issues. A French service company helps mitigate these risks by managing the process in full compliance with local rules.
