What is wage savings?

Wage savings are collective savings schemes in which each employee receives a premium linked to the company’s performance (profit-sharing) or representing a share of its profits (participation).

The sums distributed to the employee may, depending on his choice, be paid directly to him or placed in wage savings plans:

• Company Savings Plan (PEE);
• Retirement Savings Plan (RIP).

The objectives of wage savings are to promote collective savings, develop employee ownership and strengthen companies' recruitment offers.

To this end, wage savings schemes benefit from tax and social benefits. They are therefore advantageous for both the employee and the employer.
