The URSSAF end-of-contract documents explained

Last updated 1 October 2026AdminLanding Editorial

When a home employment contract ends, art. 69 of the convention collective IDCC 3239 names the documents the employer hands over: the certificat de travail, the attestation for France Travail and the reçu pour solde de tout compte; the last payslip follows the last declaration. For a particulier employeur they come out of the CESU or Pajemploi account: the employer generates them, the employee receives them. This page states what each one is, who produces it, who receives it and the article that requires it.

End-of-contract documents
Document	Who produces it	Who receives it	Rule
Certificat de travail (employment certificate)	The employer, from the CESU or Pajemploi account	The employee	CCN 3239 art. 69
Reçu pour solde de tout compte (final settlement receipt)	The employer, listing the sums paid at the date the contract ends	The employee, who may sign it — once signed, it may be contested within the 6 months that follow the signature, for the sums it lists	CCN 3239 art. 69
Attestation employeur France Travail	The employer, generated from the CESU or Pajemploi account	The employee, for the unemployment-benefit file	CCN 3239 art. 69
Last payslip	Produced by CESU or Pajemploi once the last pay is declared — at the latest the 5th of the following month	The employee	CESU / Pajemploi declaration rules
Indemnité compensatrice de congés payés (untaken paid leave)	Paid by the employer with the final pay, for the leave not yet paid — none when the CESU hourly wage was raised by 10 % for paid leave	The employee	CCN 3239 art. 67, 140.1.2 · C. trav. art. L.3141-28

The certificat de travail (CCN art. 69)

Delivered at the end of the contract, whatever the way it ended (dismissal, resignation, rupture conventionnelle, retrait d'enfant, unfitness, end of a fixed-term contract). CCN art. 69 lists what it states: the names of both parties and the employer's address, the date of hire and the date the contract ends, the job or jobs held, the portability of the prévoyance and, where it applies, that the employee is free of any commitment. On CESU and Pajemploi, the certificate is generated by the service once the end of contract has been declared in the employer's account. It carries no assessment of the employee.

The reçu pour solde de tout compte (CCN art. 69)

The detail of the sums paid to the employee at the date the contract ends (CCN art. 69): last salary, indemnité compensatrice de congés payés (CCN art. 67 — none when the CESU hourly wage was raised by 10 % for paid leave, art. 140.1.2), indemnité compensatrice de préavis where the notice is not worked at the employer's initiative (art. 64.2), and the end-of-contract indemnity where due (CCN art. 163.1 for a home employee, art. 121.1 for an assistant maternel). The employee may sign it. Once signed, it can be contested within the 6 months that follow the signature; after that period it becomes libératoire for the employer, for the sums it lists only.

The attestation employeur France Travail (CCN art. 69)

The document France Travail uses to examine the employee's unemployment rights (CCN art. 69). For a particulier employeur it is generated from the CESU or Pajemploi account after the end-of-contract declaration, and given to the employee. On Pajemploi, when several children are declared for the same assistant maternel over the same period, the automatic generation is not available and the attestation is completed on the France Travail site.

The last pay and the last payslip

The last month's pay is declared on CESU or Pajemploi at the latest the 5th of the month following the month worked. The payslip is produced by the service from that declaration. The final pay carries, in addition to the salary of the days worked:

Sums in the final pay
Sum	When it is due	Rule
Indemnité compensatrice de congés payés	Whenever paid leave acquired is not yet paid at the end of the contract — not when the CESU hourly wage was raised by 10 % for paid leave, the leave being paid each month	CCN art. 67, 140.1.2 · C. trav. L.3141-28
Indemnité de licenciement	Home employee dismissed with 8 months of seniority or more, except faute grave or lourde: 1/4 month per year up to 10 years, 1/3 beyond	CCN art. 163.1
Indemnité spécifique for an occupational unfitness (home employee)	Unfitness following a work accident or an occupational disease: twice the art. 163.1 indemnity	CCN art. 161.1.3
Indemnité de rupture (assistant maternel)	Retrait d'enfant after 9 months of accueil or more on the day the letter is sent, except faute grave or lourde or agrément event: 1/80 of the gross salaries of the contract	CCN art. 121.1
Indemnité spécifique for an occupational unfitness (assistant maternel)	Unfitness following a work accident or an occupational disease: 2/80 of the gross salaries of the contract	CCN art. 119.5
Rupture conventionnelle indemnity	Home employee only; not lower than the art. 163.1 indemnity	CCN art. 161.3 · C. trav. L.1237-13

Quick answer

At the end of a home employment contract, the particulier employeur produces from the CESU or Pajemploi account the documents of CCN art. 69 and the employee receives them: the certificat de travail, the reçu pour solde de tout compte (which the employee may sign; once signed, contestable within the 6 months that follow, for the sums it lists) and the attestation employeur France Travail — plus the last payslip, which follows the last declaration made at the latest the 5th of the following month. The final pay includes the indemnité compensatrice de congés payés (CCN art. 67) and, where due, the end-of-contract indemnity of CCN art. 163.1 (home employee) or art. 121.1 (assistant maternel).

At the same moment, on the other side

While the employer declares the last pay and generates the documents, the employee receives the certificat de travail and the attestation France Travail, checks the reçu pour solde de tout compte against the payslips of the contract and may sign it — once signed, the 6-month window of CCN art. 69 runs from that signature for both parties.

Frequently Asked Questions

The four documents, the last declaration, the sums of the final pay.

Q.Which documents does a particulier employeur produce at the end of a contract?

CCN 3239 art. 69 lists three that the employer hands over at the end of the contract: the certificat de travail, the attestation for France Travail and the reçu pour solde de tout compte; the last payslip follows the last declaration. For a particulier employeur they are generated from the CESU (cesu.urssaf.fr) or Pajemploi (pajemploi.urssaf.fr) account; the employee receives them.

Q.By when is the last pay declared on CESU or Pajemploi?

At the latest the 5th of the month following the month worked. The last payslip is produced by the service once the declaration is made. The final pay includes the indemnité compensatrice de congés payés for leave acquired and not yet paid (CCN art. 67; none when the CESU hourly wage was raised by 10 % for paid leave, art. 140.1.2) and, where due, the end-of-contract indemnity (CCN art. 163.1 or art. 121.1).

Q.What does the reçu pour solde de tout compte do?

It details the sums paid to the employee at the date the contract ends (CCN art. 69). The employee may sign it. Once signed, it may be contested within the 6 months that follow the signature; after that it discharges the employer for the sums it lists only.

Q.What is the attestation employeur France Travail for?

It is the document the employee files with France Travail to open unemployment rights (CCN art. 69). For a particulier employeur it is generated from the CESU or Pajemploi account once the end of contract is declared, and handed to the employee — except on Pajemploi when several children are declared for the same assistant maternel over the same period: the attestation is then completed on the France Travail site.

Q.Does the same apply to an assistant maternel paid through Pajemploi?

Yes: the same documents, produced from the Pajemploi account — except the automatic generation when several children are declared for the same assistant maternel over the same period (Pajemploi then gives blank models, and the France Travail attestation is completed on the France Travail site). The amounts differ — the indemnité de rupture of CCN art. 121.1 (1/80 of the gross salaries of the contract, excluding indemnités d'entretien, repas and kilométriques, from 9 months of accueil; 2/80 for an occupational unfitness, art. 119.5; none for faute grave or lourde or a decision on the approval) replaces the art. 163.1 indemnity.

Q.Who pays for the documents?

The AdminLanding membership covers both parties: when the employer is a member, the invited employee generates their own documents and pays nothing. €6 a month, renewed automatically every month; cancel any time from your account, effective at the end of the current monthly period. The calculator, the shared calendar, the reminders and the invitation are free for everyone.

Q.Can the employee use it alone?

Yes. An employee whose employer is not on the platform can take the AdminLanding membership. On the employee's side it opens 14 of the 19 documents: every document that is not one of the employer's own letters — the letters the employee writes (resignation, request to leave early for a new job, request for the end-of-contract documents, reservations on the settlement receipt), the end of the trial period, and the documents naming both parties (the contract, an amendment, the monthly summary, the settlement check, the URSSAF sheet, the preparation sheet of the rupture conventionnelle form, the handover receipt and the notice-waiver agreement — these last two are co-signed and open once the employer has joined the relationship). It never opens the employer's letters (convocation, dismissal letter, withdrawal of the child, the employer's notice waiver). Each document is offered only for the ending it belongs to. An employee invited by an employer who is a member pays nothing.

Q.Is the motif of the termination letter evaluated?

No. The letter carries a motif category chosen from a closed list (the employer's personal reasons, entry into an establishment, a move, the financial situation, faute grave, faute lourde, unfitness) and the facts exactly as the employer writes them; the convention requires a cause réelle et sérieuse or a faute grave or lourde (art. 161.1.1.1). Nothing on the platform assesses whether a motif is well-founded, and the facts are never stored after the PDF is produced.

Q.What about pregnancy or maternity?

CCN 3239 art. 48.1.2.1 attaches to these periods the specific protection of the ordinary law. Under C. trav. art. L.1225-4, no employer may end the contract of an employee during a medically attested pregnancy, the maternity leave, the paid leave taken right after it, and the ten weeks that follow, except for a faute grave unrelated to the pregnancy or an impossibility to keep the contract for a reason unrelated to the pregnancy or the birth. The termination letter carries no paragraph on this point; the rule is stated here for information, not as advice.

Q.How does the trial period end?

CCN 3239 art. 44.1.3: during the trial period, the contract may be ended at any time, at the initiative of either party, in writing. For a home employee, art. 131.1 is extended subject to C. trav. L.1221-25 and L.1221-26: the employer gives a délai de prévenance of 24 hours below 8 days of presence, 48 hours from 8 days to 1 month, 2 weeks after 1 month and 1 month after 3 months; the employee gives 48 hours (24 hours below 8 days of presence). The platform's document for this step is the written notice of the end of the trial period, dated and handed over or sent by registered letter — produced only while the trial runs (its end date on or before the trial's last day, which the délai de prévenance does not extend), never with a renewal the text does not provide (art. 95.1 for an assistant maternel; C. trav. L.1242-10 for a fixed-term contract).

The rest of the relationship

Before it ends, a relationship runs: what is paid, what the contract must carry, what is declared every month.

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 or the handover of the convocation, then notification by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt from the 4th to the 30th jour ouvrable counted from the day after the entretien; a period that would end on a Saturday, a Sunday or a public holiday runs to the next jour ouvrable). 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. An assistant maternel is not dismissed: the employer withdraws the child by a letter sent by registered post or handed over against a receipt, with no preliminary interview (CCN art. 119.1).

Documents for both parties — the 19 documents of the membership

Each document is issued in French with an English companion page, from fixed CCN 3239 templates; the figures come from the shared record of the relationship, so the employer and the employee always read the same dates and amounts.

Written by the employer (5)

Invitation to the preliminary meeting — home employee only — art. 161.1.1.1: object, date, time and place of the entretien; sent by registered post or handed over against a receipt.
Termination letter — home employee only — sent by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, never handed over (art. 161.1.1.1); the motif category chosen from a closed list and the facts as you write them; notice and indemnity come from the shared record (art. 162.4.1, 163.1).
Withdrawal of the child (assistant maternel) — assistant maternel only — art. 119.1: the employer's decision, sent by registered post or handed over against a receipt, with no preliminary interview and no motif to state; also the withdrawal imposed by a decision on the approval (art. 119.3) and the ending for unfitness (art. 119.5).
Notice waiver (employer's initiative) — art. 64.2 — the notice the employer does not want worked is paid: the compensatory notice indemnity remains due.
Retirement letter (mise à la retraite) — home employee only — art. 161.1.2: the employer's decision, with the employee's agreement below the age of automatic retirement, without it from that age; sent by registered post or handed over against a receipt; the notice of a dismissal (art. 162.5) and the indemnity of art. 163.2, whatever the seniority.

Written by the employee (5)

Request to waive the notice (new job) — art. 162.4.1 — a home employee who finds a job during a dismissal notice stops once the minimum part is worked; both parties are released from the rest.
Resignation letter — the notice of art. 162.6 (or art. 120) comes from the shared record; sent by registered post or handed over against a receipt (art. 63.2.1).
Departure to retirement (written information) — art. 63.2.2 — from the legal age of entitlement to a pension, the employee informs the employer in writing; the notice (art. 162.5, or art. 120) comes from the shared record; the voluntary retirement indemnity of annex 4 (art. 163.3, 121.2: 120 months in the branch, 60 of them in the last 84) is paid by the insurer, not by the employer (annex 4, art. 4.2).
Request for the end-of-contract documents — certificat de travail, attestation France Travail, reçu pour solde de tout compte (CCN art. 69), last payslip.
Reservations on the settlement receipt — each contested line next to the CCN figure, computed on the server from the shared record — never typed; the receipt is contested by registered letter (C. trav. D.1234-8) within the 6 months that follow its signature (CCN art. 69).

Written by either party (1)

End of the trial period — art. 44.1.3 — in writing, at any time during the trial, at the initiative of either party; never once the trial is over, never a renewal the text does not provide (art. 95.1 for an assistant maternel). For a home employee, art. 131.1 is extended subject to C. trav. L.1221-25 and L.1221-26, which set a délai de prévenance.

Naming both parties (8)

Preparation of the rupture conventionnelle form — home employee only — a preparation sheet of the official form (art. 161.3): what the parties agreed, the minimum indemnity and the calendar counted from the form's signature. Not the agreement, not signed, not e-signable.
Settlement arithmetic check — the CCN amount next to the amount on the receipt — the same figures on both sides.
URSSAF end-of-contract sheet — who produces which document, who receives it, through which channel (CESU / Pajemploi).
Handover receipt (décharge) — art. 64.1 — the dated receipt of a letter handed over instead of sent by registered post, where the text allows it (convocation, resignation, withdrawal of the child); the handover date starts the notice. A dismissal letter is never handed over (art. 161.1.1.1).
Notice waiver agreement (employee's request) — art. 64.2 — the employee asks, the employer accepts; the contract ends on the last worked day. Co-signed, electronic signature optional.
Employment contract — the written contract drawn up from the terms of the shared record (art. 41.1; one contract per child for an assistant maternel, art. 90.1). Co-signed, electronic signature optional.
Monthly summary — the hours both parties confirmed for one month and the figures to type on CESU or Pajemploi. Not a payslip: the payslip is issued by the service.
Contract amendment — one change of the terms, accepted by both parties (C. civ. art. 1193); a change the other party has not accepted is printed as a proposal. Co-signed, electronic signature optional.

One relationship, two accounts. Whoever saves the calculation first invites the other party by e-mail (free). Both then see the same calendar — entretien, notification, end of notice, documents hand-over, settlement window — receive the same reminders, and see when the other party last opened the record. These acknowledgements show the record was opened; they are not a legal notification — the registered letter, or the handover against a signed receipt, remains the formality.

Every date says who declared it, and when. The start date, the notification date and every later change carry the stamp “declared by [employer or employee] on [DD/MM/YYYY]”, visible to both parties. A date entered today is dated today: nothing is backdated silently, and either party can compare the stamp with the registered-letter receipt.

Membership rule. The AdminLanding membership covers both parties: when one party is a member, the other party of the relationship pays nothing; an employee whose employer is not on the platform can take it for their own documents. €6 a month, renewed automatically every month; cancel any time from your account, effective at the end of the current monthly period. Electronic signature is optional — €1.50 per signer, credits shared across all your documents (Rental and Home employment). The calculator, the calendar, the reminders and the invitation stay free.

Documents verified against the CCN 3239 as of 29/09/2026 — articles read: 44.1.3, 63.2.1, 64.1, 64.2, 64.3, 64.4, 69, 119.1, 119.3, 119.5, 120, 121.1, 131.1, 161.1.1.1, 161.1.3, 161.3, 162.1, 162.4.1, 162.6, 163.1, avenant n° 10 annexes 5/6. Information only, not legal advice.
