Overview

This section covers the setup and administration of the FR Work Accident, Travel Accident and Occupational Diseases Absences.

An injured employee must inform their employer and provide a medical certificate within 48 hours of the start of the absence, without which the employer doesn't register an absence. The medical certificate shows the absence type and the date(s) to record the absence period.

An employee on leave will be entitled to one or more indemnities:

• Daily social security allowance Work Accident, Travel Accident and Occupational diseases - IJSS ATMP. (Fr: Indemnités Journalières de la Sécurité Sociale Accident du travail): It is paid at a standard rate as a percentage of daily reconstituted salary. By default, employees are entitled to IJSS payment. If the employee does not qualify, then you will need to make the absence non payable by selecting the Absence not payable check box on the absence record.
• Legal Guarantee Income – LGI - (Fr: Minimum Légal Garanti): This is a statutory payment made on top of the IJSS payment and has qualifying rules which also determine the rate of payment. The rate of payment is a percentage of salary which is set by French legislation.
• Collective Agreement - CAGR - (Fr: Convention Collective): If your company uses a collective agreement which is more beneficial to the employees, then you need to create a collective agreement plan. In that case, do not create the LGI plan.

Note: Employees with multiple contracts of employment will receive both IJSS and guarantees (whether legal or conventional) for each contract.
