Paid leave in home employment

2.5 working days earned per month worked, a year that runs from 1 June to 31 May, and a payment rule that follows the contract rather than habit.

Earning the days

A month worked earns 2.5 working days of paid leave, up to 30 days over a full reference year (CCN art. 48.1.1). The year does not follow the calendar: it runs from 1 June to 31 May.

Three ways leave is paid

How the leave is paid is not a matter of habit: the convention attaches one rule to each situation, and excludes the others.

Payment of paid leave
Situation	How it is paid	Article
Assistant maternel — année complète	Paid when taken, in place of the monthly salary	CCN art. 102.1.2.1
Assistant maternel — année incomplète	An indemnity on top of the monthly salary, set on 31 May, in one go or in twelfths	CCN art. 102.1.2.2
Assistant maternel — occasional care	1/10 of the pay, at the end of the reception	CCN art. 102.1.2.3
Home employee declared through the CESU	10 % added on each declaration	CCN art. 140.1.2
Leave never taken, at the end of the contract	Indemnité compensatrice de congés payés on the final pay	C. trav. L.3141-28

Counting them without arguing about them

A leave counter is only as good as the months behind it. On AdminLanding the days are derived from the months both parties have recorded and confirmed, so the count at 31 May is not one party's memory against the other's — and the reminder before the deadline goes to both. Recording the months, confirming them and the reminders are free for everyone.

The rest of the relationship

The same relationship, from the contract to its end — each page states the rule with its article.

Frequently Asked Questions

Earning, the reference year, and the three ways leave is paid.

Q.How much paid leave does a home employee earn?

2.5 working days per month worked, capped at 30 working days over a full reference year (CCN art. 48.1.1). The reference year runs from 1 June to 31 May — the current one started on 01/06/2026 and ends on 31/05/2027.

Q.Why 1 June to 31 May?

It is the reference year of the convention. It is also the date the conventional minimum wages roll on, which is why a contract is worth re-reading every 1 June: the leave counter restarts and the hourly floor may have moved.

Q.Is the monthly 10 % legal?

Only in one case: employees declared through the CESU, where the paid leave is added at 10 % on each declaration (CCN art. 140.1.2). For everyone else the leave is taken and paid as leave — and for an assistant maternel the convention expressly excludes any other way than the one attached to the care mode.

Q.How is an assistant maternel's leave paid?

It follows the care mode written in the contract. Année complète: the leave is paid when it is taken, in place of the monthly salary (art. 102.1.2.1). Année incomplète: an indemnity on top of the monthly salary, set on 31 May and paid in one go or in twelfths (art. 102.1.2.2). Occasional care: 1/10 of the pay at the end of the reception (art. 102.1.2.3).

Q.What happens to leave that was never taken?

At the end of the contract it is paid as an indemnité compensatrice de congés payés (C. trav. L.3141-28). It is one of the sums that appear on the final pay and on the reçu pour solde de tout compte, next to the end-of-contract indemnity where one is due.

Q.Who decides the dates?

They are agreed between the parties, and for an année incomplète the weeks without reception are written in the contract or given in writing at least 2 months ahead (CCN art. 98.1.2). A family employing several people at home has every reason to agree them early in the year.

Q.Who pays for the documents?

The employer's Home Employment Pack (€29) covers both parties: the invited employee generates their own documents from the same pack and pays nothing. Recording the relationship, the invitation, the hours of every month, the confirmations and the reminders are free for everyone.

Q.Can the employee use it alone?

Yes, in one case: the employee who ends the relationship themselves. The Employee pack (€9) then opens the employee-side documents — resignation, request to waive the notice, request for the end-of-contract documents, reservations on the settlement receipt, end of the trial period. Everything else is the employer's doing, and the employee is never asked to pay for it.

Q.Does the platform keep what is typed on a document?

No. What a party types for a document — a social-security number, a child's first name, an agrément reference, the facts of a letter — is printed on the PDF and kept nowhere. The shared record holds the terms of the relationship, its dates and its figures, visible identically to both parties, and nothing else.

Q.Does AdminLanding declare to URSSAF in my place?

No. The declaration is made by the employer on cesu.urssaf.fr or pajemploi.urssaf.fr. AdminLanding never connects to those accounts: it keeps the month both parties agree on, and reminds them before the deadline.

Q.Is any of this legal advice?

No. These pages state the published rules of the convention collective IDCC 3239 and of the Code du travail, each with its article, so that both parties apply them. They do not assess a situation, and they are not a substitute for the official sources or a qualified professional.

Important: AdminLanding is a technology platform, not a law firm. We do not practice law, provide legal advice, or act as lawyers (avocats), notaries (notaires), bailiffs (commissaires de justice), or any regulated legal professional as defined by French Law No. 71-1130 of December 31, 1971. This page states the published rules of the convention collective and the Code du travail, for information purposes only — it does not constitute personalized legal advice. Verify your situation with the official sources (code.travail.gouv.fr, Légifrance) or a qualified professional before acting.

Which procedure applies: for a particulier employeur, the dismissal procedure of the convention collective IDCC 3239 applies instead of the Code du travail procedure (CCN art. 161.1.1: the rules are those of the convention; art. 161.1.1.1: entretien préalable from the 4th jour ouvrable counted from the day after the first presentation of the convocation, then notification by registered letter from the 4th to the 30th jour ouvrable counted from the day after the entretien). The Code du travail reaches this sector only through the closed list of art. L.7221-2, which does not include the L.1232-2 procedure.

Save the dates to your account — reminders for the notice end, the documents hand-over and the settlement window (free). Documents: €29 pack for this relationship, both parties (€9 for an employee alone).

Documents for both parties — €29 per end of contract

The Home Employment Pack covers one relationship and its 13 documents — 3 written by the employer, 4 by the employee, 1 by either party, 5 naming both — issued in French with an English companion page and placed in the Vault of both parties. The employer's pack covers the invited employee, who pays nothing; an employee whose employer is not on the platform takes the €9 Employee pack for their own documents.

Electronic signature optional — €1.50 per signer, credits shared across all your documents (Rental and Home employment). The calculator, the shared calendar, the reminders and the invitation stay free.
