Home employment end of contract — notice, calendar, indemnity (CCN 3239)
calculate_home_employment_end_of_contractEnd of a home-employment contract in France (particulier employeur ↔ salarié: cleaner, carer, garde d'enfant à domicile, assistant maternel): notice, dates, indemnity, documents, for either party. · Fin de contrat d'emploi à domicile (particulier employeur ↔ salarié, assistant maternel) : préavis, calendrier, indemnité, documents, pour l'employeur comme pour le salarié. — Notice duration by seniority (art. 162.4.1 dismissal / 162.6 resignation / 120 assistant maternel), earliest entretien préalable date (art. 161.1.1.1 — 4th jour ouvrable counted from the day after presentation; the Code du travail dismissal procedure does not apply to the particulier employeur), notice end computed from the FIRST PRESENTATION of the letter, dismissal indemnity (art. 163.1: 1/4 month per year up to 10 years then 1/3, from 8 months, best of the 12- or 3-month average) or assistant-maternel withdrawal indemnity (art. 121.1: 1/80 of gross salaries, from 9 months), rupture conventionnelle windows (blocked for assistants maternels, CASF L.423-2), paid-leave reminder, last CESU/Pajemploi declaration date, the 6-month settlement contest window (it runs from the receipt's signature, CCN art. 69 — only its earliest end is shown), unfitness (no notice, doubled indemnity when occupational, one month from the opinion) and the approval ending, and the end-of-contract documents with who produces and who receives each; retirement (mise à la retraite art. 161.1.2 / 162.5 / 163.2 — indemnity whatever the seniority; départ volontaire art. 63.2.2, its annex-4 indemnity computed on the periods given and PAID BY THE INSURER, not the employer), the paid job-search hours from 40 hours a week only (art. 162.4.2), no paid-leave indemnity for a CESU wage raised by 10 % (art. 140.1.2). With no date given the seniority is taken today (Europe/Paris) and the result says so. Same numbers whichever party calls. Applies the Convention collective IDCC 3239 (verified on Légifrance 2026). Deterministic formulas — no AI, no assessment of any person or motif.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| party | Yes | Who is asking: 'employer' (particulier employeur) or 'employee' (salarié / assistant maternel). Wording only — the figures are identical for both. | |
| regime | Yes | 'home_employee' (salarié du particulier employeur: cleaner, carer, housekeeper…), 'garde_domicile' (child care at the family's home — same rules as home_employee), 'assistant_maternel' (childminder at her own home, agréée — or use calculate_assistant_maternel_end_of_contract). | |
| sent_date | No | ISO date the ending letter was SENT (registered post) or handed over. The notice tier is set by the seniority on that day (CCN art. 162.1 / 120); for faute grave/lourde and unfitness the contract ends on it (art. 64.3 / 64.4). When omitted the tier is taken at the first presentation and notice.tierDependsOnSentDate says whether a threshold lies in the 7 days before it. | |
| as_of_date | No | Seniority reference date when the letter has not been sent yet (planning). Ignored when notification_date is given. Defaults to today (Europe/Paris) when no date at all is given, as on the web calculator and the documents. | |
| cdd_reason | No | contract_type 'cdd' only: the motif (C. trav. art. L.1242-2) — 'seasonal' has no end-of-contract indemnity (L.1243-10, 1°). | |
| end_reason | Yes | Closed category matching the letter: 'cdd_term_end' (a fixed-term contract ending at its term — C. trav. art. L.1243-5 « cesse de plein droit à l'échéance du terme »: no letter, no notice, no rupture indemnity; the end-of-contract indemnity of L.1243-8 except in the cases of L.1243-10; every figure taken at the term; needs contract_type 'cdd' and cdd_end_date; not when the work went on after the term — then a permanent contract, L.1243-11), 'employer_termination' (licenciement / retrait d'enfant), 'resignation' (démission), 'mutual_termination' (rupture conventionnelle — not available for assistants maternels), 'unfitness' (inaptitude, CCN art. 161.1.3 / 119.5: no notice; needs unfitness_origin and unfitness_opinion_date), 'approval_withdrawn' (assistant maternel only, art. 119.3: approval suspended, changed or withdrawn; needs approval_decision and approval_notified_date), 'retirement_by_employer' (mise à la retraite, home employee only, art. 161.1.2: the dismissal's notice, art. 162.5; an indemnity whatever the seniority, computed like art. 163.1, art. 163.2 — for an assistant maternel the employer's ending is the withdrawal of the child, blocked with code retirement_by_employer_is_withdrawal_am), 'retirement_departure' (départ volontaire à la retraite, art. 63.2.2: home employee notice art. 162.5, assistant maternel art. 120; the voluntary-retirement indemnity of annex 4 — art. 163.3 / 121.2 — is computed from annex 4 on sector_months / sector_months_last_84 / avg_60_months_gross when given, else on this contract alone, with payer 'insurer' (annex 4, art. 4.2); reason annex4_conditions_not_met when the periods known do not reach 120 months, 60 of them in the last 84). | |
| start_date | Yes | Contract start (ISO). | |
| cdd_end_date | No | contract_type 'cdd' only: the term of the contract with its renewals (the L.1243-2 notice counts on the total length). | |
| hourly_gross | No | Gross hourly rate in € (home employee / garde à domicile). | |
| weekly_hours | No | Weekly hours (mensualisation = hourly × hours × 52 / 12). | |
| contract_type | No | 'cdi' (permanent) or 'cdd' (fixed-term). Omitted = the rules of a permanent contract. A CDD ends before its term only in the cases of C. trav. art. L.1243-1 / L.1243-2 (CCN 3239 art. 62): agreement of the parties (no official form, no homologation), faute grave, unfitness (L.1226-4-3 / L.1226-20), the employee's resignation on a CDI hire (notice one day per week of the total length, two weeks at most) — any other ending is answered status 'blocked', code cdd_early_end_not_provided. Judged after its term (cdd_end_date), the relationship still running, the CDD is a CDI (L.1243-11). | |
| sector_months | No | retirement_departure only: the months of employment in the branch over the whole career, ALL household employers together (CCN 3239 annex 4, art. 2.2: 120 months needed; 1 month of salary from 10 years, 1.5 from 15, 2 from 20, 2.5 from 30). Defaults to this contract's months — a floor. | |
| entretien_date | No | Home employee dismissal / unfitness: the day the preliminary interview was held — the notification window (4th–30th jour ouvrable, art. 161.1.1.1) is computed from it. | |
| leave_pay_mode | No | Home employee: how paid leave is paid — 'on_leave' (when taken) or 'cesu_10pct' (the CESU hourly wage raised by 10 %: « les congés payés sont rémunérés au moment du versement du salaire mensuel », CCN 3239 art. 140.1.2 — then no compensatory paid-leave indemnity at the end). Omitted = unknown: the answer states the rule with its exception. | |
| agreed_end_date | No | Rupture conventionnelle only: the end date the parties agreed — the minimum indemnity (art. 161.3 → 163.1) is computed with the seniority reached on that day. | |
| am_monthly_gross | No | Assistant maternel: monthly gross (mensualisation), EXCLUDING indemnités d'entretien, repas, kilométriques. | |
| convocation_date | No | Employer termination only: first presentation of the convocation à l'entretien préalable → earliest entretien date (CCN art. 161.1.1.1). | |
| unfitness_origin | No | Unfitness only: 'occupational' (work accident or occupational disease — the indemnity is doubled, art. 161.1.3 / 2/80 art. 119.5) or 'non_occupational'. | |
| approval_decision | No | Approval ending only (assistant maternel): the conseil départemental's decision. | |
| notification_date | No | ISO date of the FIRST PRESENTATION (or handover) of the letter that ends the contract — the notice runs from it. For a rupture conventionnelle: the day both parties sign the OFFICIAL form (the withdrawal period runs from it). When omitted (with sent_date and as_of_date), the seniority is taken TODAY (Europe/Paris) and the result says so (seniority.as_of_default: 'today') — never zero seniority. | |
| avg_3_months_gross | No | Optional — average gross monthly pay over the last 3 months (the more favourable average is used). | |
| serious_misconduct | No | The letter states faute grave or faute lourde (a category chosen by the user — the tool does not assess it). Removes the notice and the indemnity by rule. | |
| am_total_gross_paid | No | Assistant maternel: optional total gross salaries paid since the start (art. 121.1 base). Defaults to mensualisation × complete months. | |
| avg_12_months_gross | No | Optional — average gross monthly pay over the last 12 months (art. 163.1 reference). | |
| avg_60_months_gross | No | retirement_departure only: the monthly average of the gross salaries of the last 60 calendar months in the branch (annex 4, art. 4.1 takes the most favourable of the 60-, 12- and 3-month averages). The indemnity is PAID BY THE INSURER, not by the employer (art. 4.2). | |
| sector_months_last_84 | No | retirement_departure only: of those, the months within the 84 months before the end of the contract (annex 4, art. 2.2: 60 needed). Defaults to this contract's. | |
| approval_notified_date | No | Approval ending only: the day the conseil départemental notified the decision — the contract ends on it (art. 119.3). | |
| unfitness_opinion_date | No | Unfitness only: the date of the occupational physician's final opinion; the rupture takes place within one month of it. |
