French term or phrase: affiliation partielle ou totale
Par exception, et après analyse des coûts, le Groupe X peut opter pour une affiliation partielle ou totale aux régimes de sécurité sociale et/ou de retraite du pays d’accueil, à condition qu’ils soient d’un niveau de couverture équivalent au pays d’origine de l’expatrié, et reconnus comme contributifs dans le pays d’origine.

This is taken from a group's expatriation policy.
I was thinking: the Group can make partial or full contributions ... to translate this.
Any ideas would be very welcome.

Explanation:
"full social security contributions" = 86,000 google hits
"part social security contributions" = 3 google hits
"full social security cover" = 15,200 google hits
"partial social security cover" = 6 google hits...
"full or partial social security contributions" = 1 hit
"full or partial social security cover" = 0 hits

Take your pick!

You could use "same benefits as country of origin' to avoid repeating 'cover' if you chose that option.
