About France's jobs market

About France's jobs market

France's competitive tech market demands strategic reward planning.

With 78% of French companies offering equity and France's strict 35-hour work week requiring RTT or overtime compensation, HR teams can’t just consider base salary when employing in France, and must ensure compliance with firm local employment laws.

Mid-level software engineers earn a median of €66,900 – 22% lower than UK equivalents. France also has a 18% unadjusted gender pay gap and mandatory Gender Equality Index reporting, making pay equity non-negotiable. High employer payroll contributions (around 45% of salary) mean that accurate market data is not just critical for competitive compensation but for potential business savings, too.

That's why companies like Deezer, Payfit and Brevo use Ravio to ensure fair, compliant packages whilst managing France's unique employment regulations.
