What Zoho People actually gives a French business
Zoho People is a cloud HRMS covering employee records, leave, attendance, onboarding, appraisals and HR cases.
For French teams that matters because british buyers are unusually price-sensitive about per-seat SaaS, which is why Zoho's bundled licensing lands well with French CFOs.. We configure it for French employers who have outgrown HR spreadsheets but do not want a heavyweight HRIS, and we do it with the tax, payroll and payment realities of trading in France already accounted for.
Typical integrations we build alongside it include Zoho Payroll, Xero, Sage, Microsoft 365, Zoho Recruit and biometric attendance hardware, so Zoho People stops being an island and starts being part of how the business runs.
Our certified Zoho team
Eleven current Zoho certifications held by named consultants, covering Zoho CRM Administration, Zoho Creator Developer at Associate and Professional level, and Zoho People. Tap any certificate to view it in full, and verify our partner status on Zoho’s official directory.
Zoho People across France
We work with French employers who have outgrown HR spreadsheets but do not want a heavyweight HRIS in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Lille, Bordeaux, Nantes, Nice, Strasbourg, Grenoble, Montpellier and Rennes and across every French region. Engagements run remotely on French business hours with on-site workshops where the scale justifies the travel.
Whatever the sector, the pattern is the same: France runs on several million businesses, the overwhelming majority of them small and mid-sized, and almost all of them paying for more software than they use. Our job on a Zoho people consultant engagement is to make that specific to your business rather than generic to your industry.
Worth reading alongside this: what Zoho People does, migrating from another system, ongoing support and integration work.
Getting Zoho People Consultant right in France
French HR is about working time, collective agreements, clean payroll data and documents in French. This is what we configure in Zoho People Consultant.
Working time and leave
The 35-hour week, RTT days, five weeks’ paid leave accrued at 2.5 working days a month and the rules of your collective agreement (convention collective) are configured per employee group.
Payroll without retyping
New hires, pay changes, absences and leavers flow to your French payroll engine, such as Silae, PayFit, Sage Paie or Cegid, which files the monthly DSN and withholds income tax at source.
Documents in French
Contracts, onboarding packs and policies are produced in French, as the Loi Toubon requires for employment documents, with mutuelle enrolment built into onboarding.
Permits and records tracked
Residence and work permit expiry dates for non-EU staff carry reminders, and employee records follow GDPR rules on access and retention.
What you get from our Zoho people consultant
Five things every Zoho people consultant engagement includes, quoted as a fixed price in EUR.
Process and requirements review
We interrogate the current process, the workarounds and the numbers nobody trusts, then define what good looks like before touching configuration.
Solution design and roadmap
A written design covering modules, data model, automation and integrations, phased so the highest-value work lands first.
Licence and edition sizing
An impartial view of which edition and user counts you actually need, which frequently reduces the number quoted elsewhere.
Integration architecture
How the system will talk to your accounting, telephony, website and legacy tools, with the trade-offs of each approach set out plainly.
Delivery plan you can take anywhere
The design document is yours. If you build it in-house or with another partner, it still works.
What French compliance means for Zoho People Consultant
In France, TVA and corporate tax are filed with the DGFiP, payroll is reported every month through the DSN, and the e-invoicing reform changes how invoices are sent and received from 1 September 2026. These are the rules a French setup has to get right.
| Obligation | What the rule is | What has to be configured |
|---|---|---|
| TVA (VAT) | The standard rate is 20%, with 10% for restaurants, passenger transport and some renovation work, 5.5% for most food, books and energy-efficiency works, and 2.1% for the press and some medicines. Returns go on the CA3, monthly or quarterly for small amounts, under the régime réel normal, or on the annual CA12 with instalments under the régime réel simplifié. Intra-EU B2B trade uses the reverse charge (autoliquidation) with EMEBI and DES declarations, B2C distance sales go through the OSS, and import VAT is self-assessed on the CA3. | The right rate by item and customer, SIREN and intra-community VAT numbers on every invoice with the mandatory mentions (payment terms, late-payment penalty rate and the EUR 40 fixed recovery fee), reverse charge and OSS treatment set correctly, deductible TVA tracked, and CA3 or CA12 figures for each period. |
| E-invoicing reform | From 1 September 2026 every VAT-registered business must be able to receive structured e-invoices, and large and mid-sized companies (GE and ETI) must also issue e-invoices and e-report. SMEs and micro-businesses must issue from 1 September 2027. Invoices travel through approved platforms (Plateformes Agréées) in Factur-X, UBL or CII format, and invoices to the public sector already go through Chorus Pro. | Zoho Books' French edition producing Factur-X invoices and connected to B2Brouter, an approved platform, for sending and receiving, customer SIREN numbers captured on every account, and the full flow tested before your issuing date. |
| Corporate tax (IS) | The standard rate is 25%, or 15% on the first EUR 42,500 of profit for qualifying SMEs (turnover under EUR 10m, fully paid-up capital and at least 75% held by individuals). The annual liasse fiscale is built from accounts kept on the Plan Comptable Général, and the FEC (Fichier des Écritures Comptables) must be produced on request in a tax audit. | A chart of accounts on the PCG, entities kept separate, fixed assets recorded, and journals kept complete and sequential so the FEC can be produced on request. |
| Payroll (DSN, URSSAF, PAS) | Every month the employer files the DSN (déclaration sociale nominative) through net-entreprises.fr, pays social contributions to URSSAF and withholds income tax at source (prélèvement à la source). Payroll runs on a French payroll engine such as Silae, PayFit, Sage Paie or Cegid; Zoho Payroll is not available in France. | Zoho People kept as the HR record and connected to your payroll provider, so hires, pay changes, absences and leavers flow across without rekeying, and payroll journals posting to the ledger. |
| Employment and data rules | The legal working week is 35 hours, with RTT days where working time is set above it, five weeks' paid leave (2.5 working days per month), sector collective agreements (conventions collectives) and mandatory company health cover (mutuelle). GDPR is enforced by the CNIL, including consent before non-essential cookies, and the Loi Toubon requires French in consumer documents, employment documents and contracts. | Leave, RTT and working-time rules set per collective agreement, accounts provisioned in Zoho's EU data centre (zoho.eu), consent captured for every contact, French templates for customers and staff, and access and deletion requests handled on record. |
