Can I combine are and salary?

Whether you're anemployee of a company, a freelance worker, a self-employed entrepreneur or a jobseeker, there are a multitude of statuses that can be used to describe a person's professional situation. This diversity also extends to the types of contract, which can be fixed-term or open-ended, full-time or part-time. This is why many people in France today say they do not know what benefits(RSA, retirement pension, aah, are, etc.) they are entitled to. For example, is it possible to combine unemployment benefit with paid employment? Elora explains.

WHAT DOES ARE MEAN?

ARE is the abbreviation for Allocation chômage d'aide au Retour à l'Emploi. This compensation takes the form of financial assistance paid by Pôle Emploi to people who have been involuntarily deprived of work. Several criteria are taken into account in determining whether or not benefits are paid, and how much they are. Among other things, Pôle Emploi will ask you about :

• The type and duration of your last employment contract
• How it ended: was it your decision or the decision of the manager of your former company?
• Your age
• The amount in euros of gross pay(salary, bonuses, allowances) received over the period in question.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO COMBINE ARE AND SALARY?

A person who is in paid employment can receive unemployment benefit, provided that they are still registered with Pôle Emploi. However, the calculation of the amount of daily benefit will take into account the monthly pay received by the employee and is subject to a ceiling. The total of current pay and benefit must not exceed the employee's former gross pay.

Entrepreneurs who are registered as jobseekers can also combine are and salary, subject to certain conditions( companystatus, previous situation, etc.). This is particularly interesting for entrepreneurs who generate little income in the first few months, because they have only recently started their business. These allowances are also subject to a ceiling.
