According to a survey, on equal pay, 39% of French people would prefer to be paid several times rather than once a month

39% of French people say they can manage their budget better if they are paid every 15 days, and not just once at the end of the month.

According to this opinion poll conducted for Rosalie, a start-up specializing in the development of advance payments, this proportion of French people attracted by the payment of divided wages rises to 62% among those under 35. This is enough to avoid being exposed “from the first fortnight”, says Rosalie CEO Arabiya Smriti.

In France, this practice today only pertains to temporary and intermittent workers, or delivery people who are paid weekly. For these workers, the employer has an obligation to pay the remuneration “at least twice a month”.

an expensive and legally impossible remedy

Such a measure would generate additional costs for employers.

“The fact of publishing two payslips, the fact of paying your contribution on one part and then on the other. Hence [verser le salaire en plusieurs fois] Why not, but on condition that it is a possibility and an obligation is not imposed”, supports Benot Serre, vice president of the HRD Association.

In addition, the French Labor Code mandates the payment of wages at the same time and always in the same period, except for the occupations already mentioned. Split payments are common in Anglo-Saxon countries such as the United States or the United Kingdom. It is not unusual to be paid weekly.
