Employment law and payroll management

Employment Law and Payroll Management

In the face of complex and constantly changing regulations, having access to professional advice ensures the optimisation and security of your personnel management.

No matter how large or small the workforce, personnel management is a completely separate subject that directors rarely delegate. In France, the regulations surrounding employment law are strict, complex, and constantly changing. Personnel management is extremely demanding, both in terms of resources and in terms of training and availability of the personnel department.

Over and above its highly technical aspect and the need to comply with legal constraints, personnel management is also a key area and a very delicate subject for businesses. Any errors, inaccuracies or delays in pay or employee entitlements can incur a high cost, whether financial or in terms of corporate image, or even criminal, in the eyes of the authorities and your staff.

RSA has a team of highly qualified professionals and a scalable service offer, to provide you with support.

Payroll management

Generating, ensuring reliability, meeting deadlines and complying with regulations

The “Payroll” department, made up of specialists and practitioners, enables businesses to outsource all or part of this function to our practice. Our objective is to take administrative tasks away from the entrepreneur, with total safety, enabling him to optimise his costs and his personnel management.

Should the business wish to refocus on its core activity, or be experiencing difficulty in acquiring the necessary skills to manage payroll, our staff, highly experienced and fully trained in the latest techniques, can provide support in the management of various payroll-related issues:

  • Registering the business and its employees with the social security organisations
