Who this guide is for

Section actions
  • Employees after termination, end of CDD, contractual breach or other end of contract
  • Foreign nationals holding an employed title, temporary worker, talent or other professional motive
  • Persons whose employer refuses the documents or has entered incorrect data

To be prepared in advance

Section actions
  • Contract, amendments, breaking mail, pay slips and hours records
  • Work certificate, employer certificate France Travail and received for balance from any account
  • Residence permit, work authorisation and renewal dates
  • RIB, social security number and proof of previous jobs
  • Exchanges on amounts, reason for termination or missing documents

Step-by-step procedure

Section actions
  1. 1Identify the legal reason and the end date. They influence documents, a possible recourse and the calculation of France Travail; do not sign an incomprehensive text without copying or reading time.
  2. 2Retrieve the required documents. The employer sends the certificate to France Travail and must provide you with a copy; check dates, wages, reasons and request any correction in writing.
  3. 3Register to France Travail when you are available to search for a job and file the missing certificates. Right, starting point and amount of the ARE depend on the career and the reason for the end.
  4. 4Perform the monthly update and report any activity, stoppage, training or self-employment. Keep decisions and calculations.
  5. 5Check the health coverage and possible portability of the mutual, then report the drop in income and the end of employment to the Caf. Do not terminate anything until you have verified the continuation of the rights.
  6. 6If the title is work-related, see the rule for the exact category. Job loss does not automatically cancel a current card, but can affect work, renewal or change of status.
  7. 7In case of disagreement, first request correction from the employer. For unpaid work, disputed break-up or refusal of documents, use the labour inspectorate for information, a union, a lawyer or the counsel of men according to the procedure.

Common mistakes

Section actions
  • Do not check employer's attestation prior to treatment
  • Wait several weeks before registration without cause
  • Registration and guaranteed right to the ARE
  • Omit a short mission or micro-enterprise when updating
  • To believe that the loss of employment has the same effect on all residence permits

Important remark

The rights depend on the reason for termination, affiliation, residence permit and the applicable time limits. A labour or residence dispute requires an individual examination of the documents.
