Every month • CESU & Pajemploi

The monthly declaration, month after month

One act repeats for the whole life of the contract: the hours of the month, declared to the right service, inside a window that opens on the 25th and closes on the 5th.

The window of a month

A month is declared once the month is over — or from its 25th, when the remaining days are already known. The deadline is the 5th of the following month.

The current declaration window
Month concerned	Opens	Due
2026-09	25/09/2026	05/10/2026

The dates above are the ones the shared calendar shows both parties today; they follow the month, not the calendar year.

What goes into the declaration

Declared figures
Figure	Who knows it	Note
Hours worked in the month	Both parties	The base of everything else
Gross pay of the month	From the contract	Hourly rate × hours, or the averaged monthly salary
Days of activity (assistant maternel)	Both parties	Pajemploi asks for them separately
Maintenance and meal allowances	From the contract	Allowances, not pay
Paid-leave days taken	Both parties	Where the care mode calls for it
Net salary	Computed by URSSAF	Never entered — it comes back on the payslip

The same month, on both sides

Most disputes about a home-employment month are not disputes about the rule — they are two people holding different numbers. AdminLanding gives the relationship one shared month: one party records the hours, the other confirms them, and the record keeps who recorded what and when. Recording a month, confirming it and the reminders before the deadline are free for both parties.

The declaration itself is made on the URSSAF service — AdminLanding never declares in your place and never connects to your CESU or Pajemploi account.

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

The window, the service, the figures and who checks them.

Q.By when must the monthly declaration be made?

The declaration of a month opens on the 25th of that month and is due by the 5th of the next one. For 2026-09, it opened on 25/09/2026 and is due on 05/10/2026. The service then computes the contributions and issues the payslip.

Q.CESU or Pajemploi — which one?

The CESU (cesu.urssaf.fr) covers the salarié du particulier employeur: household help, carer, home support. Pajemploi (pajemploi.urssaf.fr) covers childcare: an assistant maternel agréé and a garde d'enfants at the family's home. One relationship, one service — and for an assistant maternel, one declaration per child since 25 January 2026.

Q.What exactly is declared?

The hours actually worked in the month and the gross pay that follows from the contract, plus what the regime adds: days of activity and the maintenance and meal allowances for an assistant maternel, paid-leave days where they were taken. The service computes the net and the contributions from those figures — they are not something the employer invents.

Q.What happens if a month is declared late?

The payslip and the contributions of that month are issued late, and for childcare the CAF complément de libre choix du mode de garde is paid on the declaration, so a late month delays it. The declaration stays open after the 5th: a forgotten month is declared as soon as it is noticed rather than merged into the next one.

Q.Who checks the figures?

Both parties should, and on the same numbers. The employee knows the hours they worked; the employer knows what was declared. On AdminLanding the month is recorded by one party and confirmed by the other before the deadline, and a difference between the two is flagged as a difference — never settled by the platform.

Q.Does the platform know the net salary?

No. The net is computed by URSSAF from the declaration, and the shared record keeps the hours and the gross only — the net field is deliberately left empty, because the party who reads it on the payslip is the one who knows it.

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.

Calculate the dates and the amounts — free

Notice end date, end-of-contract indemnity, paid-leave indemnity and the documents hand-over calendar, computed from the rules of the convention collective IDCC 3239 for both parties. No account needed for the calculation.

Open the end-of-contract calculator

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.
