Does the new Profit-Sharing Law of 2025 apply to Horizons in France?
Modified on: Thu, 28 Aug, 2025 at 1:58 PM
A new French law, effective from January 1, 2025, introduces a profit-sharing scheme under the French Act on Value Sharing (Loi sur le partage de la valeur). This initiative encourages companies to share profits with employees when certain conditions are met.
However, this new regulation does not apply to Horizons.
What Does the Law Require?
The law mandates an experimental profit-sharing scheme over a 5-year period, specifically targeting:
Companies with between 11 and 49 employees, and
Companies that have achieved a net profit equal to at least 1% of turnover for three consecutive years.
The measure is designed to encourage value sharing in small to mid-sized businesses that meet profitability thresholds. While companies that meet the criteria are required to participate in the trial, implementation methods may vary.
Is This Mandatory for All Companies?
No. While the trial is mandatory only for companies meeting the above conditions, other companies may choose to implement similar schemes on a voluntary basis.
Why Doesn't This Apply to Horizons?
Horizons does not meet the eligibility criteria defined under the law. As a result, Horizons is not subject to this regulation and is not participating in the experimental scheme.
