Affiliation

What is affiliation?

  • Affiliation enables the Caisses Sociales de Monaco to identify an employer duly authorised to conduct its business activities in the Principality.
  • Affiliation is needed so that the Employment Office (Pôle Emploi) can identify any employer whose personnel are covered by unemployment insurance.
  • It involves allocating the employer a unique employer number which is used to monitor:
  • all contributions for which the Caisses Sociales provides collection services.

Who should be affiliated?

To Caisse Monégasque de Retraite Complémentaire (CMRC)

All natural and legal persons permitted to pursue an occupational activity in the Principality and who employ salaried personnel as part of that activity, except employers listed by Ministerial Decree.

ATTENTION
