expenses and social welfare payments normally due Explanation: that's one way to say it that's often used -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-18 17:01:38 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- depending on the context it can also be Social Security payments or payroll taxes but the generic is as I wrote above -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-18 18:11:34 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- you have to be careful with Social Security, if you translate it as ss, then an uninformed person might misundertand- in France the payments are complex and include at least three and sometimes more items |

peer agreement (net): +1benefit (health insurance + pension) fees + contributions normally paid Explanation: note: in France, a portion of the national health insurance and retirement fees are mandated by law to be paid by the employer. In the US this is usually a private choice and companies may pay part of the fees. |

(with the exception) of employer's compulsory contributions Explanation: Working on the assumption the ordinary meaning can and should be attached to the word "normalement" here, then it is generally best to avoid translating it as "normally". It's a false friend and in context is being used to describe something which should be paid. The company in question is apparently exempt from any obligation to pay the taxes etc listed, but still has to pay the "charges sociales". These are generally compulsory contributions into social funds covering health, retirement, unemployment (for employees) benefit and so on which a company has to pay in respect of its employees. It is quite common to find that when a company is exempt from tax and other liabilities, they still have to contribute to the basic compulsory funds anyway. There is usually no way round them! A common way of referring to these in the UK (in the case of a company with employees) is “employer's compulsory contributions”. Contributions are globally described as “compulsory” or “voluntary”. Indeed, I read “normalement “ in the extract to be in reference to the compulsory nature of the contributions which are due, hence the suggestion! I am not familiar with relevant US terminology but did come across this in my search : http://www.denaliinitiative.org/glossary.html.
