profits shared with employees

Employees of a landscaping company received a bonus of 3,000 euros in September. The boss even wants to double it by the summer in the form of a profit-sharing bonus. “I try to put them aside a little bit”, explains Vincent Lauziard, site manager, landscaper. The company continues to see its turnover increase. So, for the boss, it is normal to share the good results with his employees.

A “desocialized” premium

“The bonus on the sharing of value is a bonus which is desocialized and which is not taxed for the employee […] if my company pays 3,000 euros, that means that the employee receives 3,000 euros, without tax to pay”, explains Géraud Vaillat, director of the Sarivière company. This participation or profit-sharing bonus, the government wishes to extend it to SMEs with more than eleven employees. For François Asselin, representative of small and medium-sized enterprises, paying a bonus is more reassuring than increasing wages.
