InfoLibraryclock icon7 MIN READ·calendar iconUPDATED JUN 16, 2026

Toku's supplementary health insurance in France covers medical, dental, optical, and hearing services alongside public healthcare.

Toku provides a supplementary health insurance plan in France in compliance with local regulations. This coverage complements the French public healthcare system (Sécurité sociale) and includes medical, hospital, dental, optical, and hearing benefits.

Employees are automatically enrolled in the plan via Alan on their start date. No action is required unless adding dependents.


Summary of Alan Green Plan

Toku partners with Alan, a licensed French health insurer, to provide the company’s supplementary healthcare (mutuelle).

Premium Breakdown

  • The cost of the company health insurance plan is shared between the employer and the employee:
    • The employer pays 50%
    • Employees pay 50%
  • Your portion of the cost is automatically deducted from your paycheck.
  • If you choose to add dependents (spouse, partner, or children):
    • Dependent coverage is optional
    • 100% of the dependent cost is paid by the employee and deducted from payroll

Standard France (outside Alsace-Moselle)

Beneficiary Monthly premium Employer contribution
Employee (Collaborateur) €89.80 50% → €44.90
Spouse €89.80 0%
Children (pack, any number) €89.80 0%

Alsace-Moselle (Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin, Moselle)

Employees working in Alsace-Moselle are covered under a three-tier system:

  1. Sécurité sociale — the national base coverage
  2. Régime Local d'assurance maladie Alsace-Moselle — a mandatory regional regime, automatically applied to all employees working in Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin, or Moselle. It raises your base reimbursement rate to approximately 90% (vs. 70% in the rest of France). This regime is funded entirely by the employee via a payroll deduction of approximately 1.5% of gross salary.
  3. Alan supplementary plan — Toku's company mutuelle, covering the remaining gap Because the Régime Local already provides a higher base reimbursement, the Alan plan covers a smaller remaining gap - and as a result, the premium is lower.
Beneficiary Monthly premium Employer contribution
Employee (Collaborateur) €69.70 50% → €34.85
Spouse €69.70 0%
Children (pack, any number) €69.70 0%

Note: Your payslip will also show a separate deduction for the Régime Local contribution (~1.5% of gross salary). This is distinct from the Alan plan premium above.

Meal Vouchers (Titres-Restaurant)

As part of your benefits in France, you receive meal vouchers (titres-restaurant) to help cover the cost of food and meals during your working days.

What you get

  • You receive one meal voucher for each day you work that includes a meal break.
  • The voucher is co-funded:
    • Toku (your employer) pays 60% of the voucher's value - this part is completely tax-free for you.
    • You pay the remaining 40%, taken as a small deduction from your net pay.
  • Example: on a €9 voucher, Toku contributes €5.40 and €3.60 comes from your pay - so you get €9 of meal value for a €3.60 cost. The exact face value for your plan appears on your payslip.
  • Vouchers are loaded onto a card or app from the provider (e.g., Edenred, Pluxee, Swile) each month.

Where and when you can use them

  • Where: restaurants and bakeries, and - through 31 December 2026 — groceries and food products in supermarkets, in France.
  • How much per day: up to €25 per day.
  • When: on working days. Vouchers can't be used on Sundays or public holidays, unless you work those days and it has been authorized.
  • What for: food and meals only. Vouchers are personal to you and can't be transferred.

Good to know

  • Unused balances generally roll over and stay valid for a defined period set by the provider - check your provider's app for your exact expiry.
  • The employer-funded portion is exempt from tax and social contributions (within the legal limit), so it's genuine extra value on top of your salary.
  • If you'd prefer not to take part in the meal voucher scheme, that's your choice - just let us know and we'll arrange it.
