Understanding the process
Thanks to the secondment procedure, an employee from France, who comes to work in Monaco for a specific period on behalf of your company, will remain registered within the French social security system.
Companies, craftsperson or subcontractors who are not established in Monaco and wish to carry out work on public or private construction sites must first make an application for site authorisation with the Business Development Agency.
If the secondment is for more than three months, you should contact the Employment Office to submit the application in paper format.
This online service is not aimed at craftspeople authorised to operate individually, without any seconded employees. You can inform the Employment Office by post, specifying that you are operating individually, and attaching to your letter a copy of the work authorisation issued by the Business Development Agency.
To obtain form S9203 “Avis de mission”, you can:
- Download it on Caisse Primaire d’Assurance Maladie website
- Or request it directly from the Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie (CPAM) of your head office if you are covered within the national social security system
You must submit one copy of the form to:
- Your employee at the moment of his/her departure (he/she must retain this copy during the secondment)
- To the relevant CPAM for information purposes, within 24 hours of the beginning of the secondment period
