Payees Under 18

There is a different minimum wage (SMIC) for payees under the age of 18 who have spent less than six months with their employers. They may earn 80 percent of the SMIC if they are under 17 years of age and 90 percent of the SMIC if they are between the ages of 17 and 18.

Global Payroll for France checks the age of the payee, and if it is below 18, the system checks that the earning is not below the statutory percentage of the SMIC.
