Legifrance, for an indefinite term taking effect on 1 January 2026 and replacing all prior company provisions on the same object; the insurer and intermediary face a five-yearly review under article L. 912-2 of the Code de la sécurité sociale.
Base-regime contributions on the insurer-defined salary run 1.41% on tranche 1 up to one plafond de la sécurité sociale and 1.64% on tranche 2 from one to eight plafonds; the optional décès option adds 0.44% on T1 and 0.72% on T2. On the base regime the employer pays 100% of T1 and 65.793% of T2, the employee nothing on T1 and 34.207% on T2; the optional décès option is 100% employee-paid. Contributions may move automatically by up to 10% of the initial rate with the same split; beyond that a new negotiated avenant is required, failing which the insurer cuts benefits proportionally to fit the budget. The annexed benefit summary is for information only: the company owes only the contributions and its legal and collectively-agreed minimums, with benefit terms, caps and exclusions the insurer's responsibility.
Membership continues during any paid contract suspension with maintained salary, complementary daily benefits at least partly company-funded, or employer-paid replacement income, both sides paying as for active staff; during unpaid suspension staff may keep décès and invalidité cover by paying the full contribution, 0.64% of T1 and T2 at 1 January 2026 on pay reconstituted from the prior twelve-month average, supplying bank details and a direct-debit authorisation within seven days where payroll deduction is impossible. Departing staff keep cover while on indemnisé unemployment under article L. 911-8, funded by pooling. Pensions in payment continue to be revalued on insurer change under article L. 912-3, with décès cover kept for incapacity and invalidity pensioners and décès bases revalued at least as the terminated contract provided.
The signatories meet once a year to monitor the accord; revision follows articles L. 2222-5 and L. 2261-7-1 with a one-month meeting deadline, denunciation articles L. 2222-6 and L. 2261-9 et seq. with three months' notice plus a one-year survival period, and the CSE is informed and consulted before any benefit change under article R. 2312-22 with a yearly results-review commission.
Legal basis: Code de la sécurité sociale articles L. 911-1, L. 911-8, L. 912-2, L. 912-3 and L. 242-1; Code général des impôts article 83, 1° quater; Code du travail articles L. 2222-5, L. 2261-7-1, L. 2222-6, L. 2261-9 et seq., L. 2231-6 and R. 2312-22.
