Choosing your legal status is not something to be done lightly, and has many repercussions, not least on your Social Security system. That's why it's essential to get the facts beforehand, and Anytime is here to help! 💯
A manager's social security depends on two factors:
- your company's legal status 🗽
- the percentage of share capital held 📃
As a company director or manager, you have two types of social security system:
- the general employee scheme
-
the social security system for the self-employed
What are the differences between these two plans? 🏥
The differences between the general scheme for salaried employees and thesocial scheme for the self-employed are becoming increasingly subtle.
The social scheme for the self-employed covers and protects relatively less than the general scheme for salaried employees. Nevertheless, it costs less than the latter. For a company director, this can be a way of reducing expenses. The remaining differences concern :
- supplementary pension: the pension for self-employed workers is equivalent to that for non-managerial employees
-
occupational illnesses: a company director covered by the general employee scheme can receive contributions from the Assurance Maladie, whereas a self-employed person can only receive a maximum equivalent to half his or her income.
Which plan for which position? 🧑💻
