In companies with fewer than fifty employees, which do not have a works council and which are not covered by a joint body mentioned in article L. 411-20, and as far as the individual employer is concerned, the benefit resulting from the employer’s contribution to the acquisition of holiday vouchers by the beneficiaries mentioned in article L. 411-1 is exempt from the contributions and levies provided for by employment and social security legislation, with the exception of the generalised social contribution and the contribution for the reimbursement of the social debt. The amount of the benefit giving entitlement to exemption, which may not exceed the ceilings set in the last paragraph of article L. 411-11, is limited, per beneficiary and per year, to 30% of the minimum growth wage assessed on a monthly basis. When an adjustment to social security contributions is due to the incorrect application of this exemption, this adjustment only concerns the fraction of contributions and contributions wrongly exempted or reduced, except in the case of bad faith or repeated actions by the contributor.
For the application of the first paragraph of this article, the number of employees and the crossing of the threshold of fifty employees are determined in accordance with the procedures set out in article L. 130-1 of the Social Security Code.
