Example: Set Up General Contribution Reductions (FRA)

Example: Set Up General Contribution Reductions (FRA)

This example illustrates how to set up General Contribution Reductions (Réduction générale) for employer contributions on a worker's pay before 2026-01-01. For employer contributions on a worker's pay after 2026-01-01, the Unified General Contribution Reduction (UGCR) requirements are similar and the updated deductions are mentioned in the Steps section.
You want to configure payroll for Aurelie and Beth, 2 workers who are eligible for the General Contribution Reduction. Beth contributes to a transportation paid vacation fund (caisse de congés payés transport), and needs a specific calculation for the General Contribution Reduction coefficient.
  • Define a working time and a work schedule calendar for Aurelie and Beth.
  • Security:
    Set Up: Payroll (Calculations - Payroll Specific)
     domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
  1. Confirm that Aurelie and Beth meet the eligibility criteria for a General Contribution Reduction.
    1. Access the
      View Deduction
       report for
      General Contribution Reduction Extended for URSSAF [FRA]
      .
    2. Review the
      Criteria
       section on the
      Effective Dated
       tab and evaluate whether Aurelie is eligible.
    For the UGCR, confirm that Aurelie and Beth meet the eligibility criteria for the UGCR: Any salary under 3 times the SMIC uses the UGCR.
  2. Define which absences and pay elements to include in the General Contribution Reduction or UGCR calculations.
    1. Access the
      Edit Deduction
       or
      Edit Earning
       task.
    2. On the
      Non-Effective Dated
       tab, select these pay component groups from the
      Groups
       prompt:
      • FRA Adds to Built up Reprocessed Taxable Wages [FRA]
      • FRA Subtracts from Built up Taxable Wages [FRA]
      • FRA Subtracts from Reprocessed Taxable Wages [FRA]

       or
      Edit Earning
       task for a pay component that has a nonzero result for the subperiod.
