Parents employing a childminder at home or using an approved childminder's services must declare wages and calculate social security contributions, just like any employer. To comply legally, parent employers turn to the Pajemploi national center, managed by Urssaf. This guide outlines the center's role and key steps to access its services effectively.
The Pajemploi national center handles registration for parents employing childminders or approved childminders. It calculates and collects social contributions, issues payslips, and sends them monthly to registered employees. Start by drafting an employment contract upon hiring and applying for the childcare Complement of Free Choice via your CAF or MSA.
Your CAF or MSA will forward your details to Pajemploi, which will send your registration confirmation, login credentials, and temporary password for the Pajemploi website. If ineligible for the childcare complement, contact Pajemploi directly for a membership form to declare your employee online.
For approved childminders, pay salaries monthly to maintain regular payments through contract end. Log in to the Pajemploi site with your credentials to report the salary paid.
Once logged in, review and validate your employee's details on the dashboard. Enter the employment period and payment date, then input hours worked—specifying childminder or approved childminder type, as contribution rates differ. Upon submission, you'll receive a contributions statement, and your employee gets their payslip.
Promptly notify Pajemploi of any changes, such as employee switch, childcare mode, or family/professional situation updates. For a new employee, simply update the Pajemploi section with their details.
Switching from home childminder to approved childminder? Complete the 'approved assistant' field online. Reversing that requires a specific form. For family or professional changes, first update your CAF or MSA.
