Any employer of salaried employees or persons treated as such is required to send to the body responsible for collecting social security contributions, by 31 January each year at the latest, a statement indicating the number of employees who took early retirement or were placed on early retirement during the previous calendar year, their age and the amount of the benefit allocated to them. This declaration also indicates the number of compulsory retirements at the initiative of the employer under the conditions of article L. 122-14-13 and the number of employees aged sixty and over made redundant during the calendar year preceding the declaration.
Failure to produce this declaration within the prescribed time limits will result in a penalty equal to six hundred times the hourly rate of the minimum growth wage. This penalty is recovered by the body responsible for collecting social security contributions to which the employer is subject. The proceeds are allocated to the Caisse nationale d’assurance vieillesse .
The model declaration is set by joint order of the Minister for Social Security and the Minister for Employment.
The obligation to declare mentioned in the first paragraph only applies to employers where at least one employee or equivalent has taken early retirement or has been placed on early retirement during the previous calendar year.
