Employers may fulfil their employment obligation by paying an annual contribution to the development fund for the professional integration of the disabled provided for in Article L. 5214-1 for each of the beneficiaries of the obligation that they should have employed. Any employer who has not fulfilled the obligation mentioned in article L. 5212-2 is required to do so by paying an annual contribution, under conditions set by decree, for each of the beneficiaries of the obligation that it should have employed. This contribution is collected and audited by the bodies mentioned in article L. 213-1 of the Social Security Code or article L. 752-4 of the same code or article L. 723-2 of the Rural and Maritime Fishing Code to which the employer is subject, in accordance with the rules and subject to the guarantees and penalties applicable to the collection of contributions under the general social security scheme and the social protection scheme for employees in the agricultural professions.
The amount of this contribution may be adjusted according to the size of the company’s workforce and the jobs, determined by decree after consulting the council referred to in article L. 146-1 of the Code de l’Action Sociale et des Familles, that require special skills and are held by employees of the company.
The modulation of the contribution to take into account the jobs requiring particular conditions of aptitude occupied by employees of the company may take the form of a deduction from the amount of the annual contribution.
