Sources

A general presentation of the source All employees database is accessible in the section "Definitions, Methods and quality" of the insee.fr site.

The 2022 edition is in line with previous editions. As a reminder, the 2017 edition was the first to primarily use the Nominative Social Declarations (DSN) for the private sector. This new data source replaced most social declarations, particularly the annual social data declarations (DADS). In this context of a gradual shift in information sources, Insee revamped its statistical processing starting with the 2016 edition. As a result, the data is not directly comparable to that of earlier editions. For more information, refer to the methodological box in Insee Première n°1798.

Définitions

Average hourly net salary:To calculate an average hourly wage, all positions are taken into account, including part-time positions, proportionate to the number of hours worked.

Wages and salaries :

Wages and salaries are the payment for work agreed between an employee and his or her employer under the contract of employment in the private sector and for contractual agents in the public service, or employment for civil servants.

It includes the basic salary (or index-linked salary in the civil service) but also bonuses and allowances, compensation for overtime hours worked, employee savings (mandatory or optional profit-sharing, additional matching contributions), other indemnities and related compensations (residence allowance, family allowance, etc.) and payments in kind.

The salary is a kind of "price". Reduced to a unit of volume of work, which can be an hour (hourly wage) or a full-time equivalent (FTE wage), it enables jobs or work stations of different duration and working time to be compared.

Remarque :

The annual analysis of wages enlists several sources constructed from social declarations or administrative data. Information about the private sector comes from the nominative social declarations (DSN), which follow the annual declarations of social data (DADS). Since 2009, information about the civil service has come from the information system on public service employees (Siasp), fed mainly by the State's monthly pay files for civil servants in the State civil service (SCS) and by the DADS, then by the DSN, for those in the local civil service (LCS), in the hospital civil service (HCS) and in some public establishments falling under the SCS.

These administrative sources are supplemented by two statistical surveys : the INSEE survey on labour costs and structure of earnings (Ecmoss) and the DARES survey on labour activity and employment conditions (Acemo).

Post of work :

In employment and wage statistics, a job (or position) corresponds to the relationship of an employee and an establishment during a given period of time. Thus, an employee who works in two establishments (on a given date or over a certain period of time, such as a year) occupies two positions. Conversely, several employment contracts between the employee and the same establishment (on a given date or successively over a certain period of time) constitute a single position.

The concept of main position allows for only one position per employee. An employee's main position is the most remunerative position. The concept of an "additional" position makes it possible to exclude from certain statistics positions with a low volume of work and a low level of associated remuneration.

In the general case, a position is considered to be "non-additional" if the remuneration is higher than 3 monthly minimum wage rates or if the duration of employment exceeds 30 days and 120 hours and the number of hours/duration ratio is higher than 1.5.

Remarque :

The job is the basic statistical unit for the results from the "All-employee" files, DADS (annual declaration of social data), Siasp (System for information on civil servants), Clap (local knowledge of the productive system) and Flores (pay and salaried employment localized file), which succeeds Clap from 2017.

Champ

The scope of Insee Première on private sector wages is a subset of the "All Employees" database. It is limited to private sector and public enterprise employees, including recipients of subsidized employment contracts and professional training contracts. This scope excludes apprentices and interns, agricultural sector employees, employees in extraterritorial activities, as well as employees of private households and the public sector. Individuals whose age is not specified and minors are also excluded from the statistical scope. Additionally, the place of work (which may differ from the place of residence) cannot be located abroad, in Mayotte, or in the overseas collectivities (COM).

It is used for publications and dissemination products on the private sector, notably for the annual Insee Première report on private sector wages.

Please note that in 2022, this scope was slightly modified. Its precise definition was harmonized with other dissemination products from the "All Employees" database. Specifically, a clause excluding public sector employees, based on the legal category of companies, was removed.

Géographie

The statistics for 2022 are available in the municipal geography in force on 01/01/2024.

Data are not available for Mayotte.

Statistical confidentiality and release "threshold"

Data from the All Employees databases are subject to statistical confidentiality. No statistics are released for areas less than 2 000 residents. In addition, each box in the table must contain at least 5 employees and no employee must represent more than 80 % of the payroll of the box. These constraints lead to the exclusion from dissemination of the results of certain areas of more than 2 000 residents.
