Where a company encounters financial difficulties affecting the payment of social security contributions by its employees, it may request a delay in paying them to the Urssaf as employer.

A company that wants to request a payment period must meet the following 2 conditions:

  • She must have made his social declarations (i.e. having transmitted its DSN: titleContent) even if it is unable to pay them.
  • She must have paid the full wage share social security contributions.

The company must include the following information in its request for a payment deadline:

  • Context of the request : other debts, existence of an ongoing plan, etc.
  • Origin and nature of difficulties
  • Actions taken to restore the situation
  • Estimated time needed for to re-establish his situation and the desired duration of the timetable
  • Other documents that could be useful for the examination of the application.

The length of time it takes to process the application varies depending on how the company made its application:

FYI  

It is important to ask for the remittance late surcharges.

The payment term request is automatically approved if the company meets all the criteria for the automated payment term. It will have direct access to the heading ‘payment’ to implement the electronic payment of the deadline.

However, if it does not meet all the criteria, the ‘payment’ will not be displayed. The company will have to validate its request for payment time by pressing the button “consignment” so that it can be reviewed by an account manager. Once the request has been validated by the manager, it is possible to validate the online payment of the deadline.

Once the payment deadline has been accepted, the company receives a proposed payment schedule. If it does not agree with it, it has the option of requesting that the amount due be recalculated.

Please note

The payment period granted may not exceed 12 months.
