with a salary equivalent to between 1 and 2 times the French statutory minimum wage

Yes, like Richard, I think it refers to the salary, not the number of employees.

agree Jennifer Levey : I think it's inmportant to include 'French' and 'statutory' if the English is being written for 'foreign' consumption, but I prefer David's use of percentages

Le champ des majorations est plus large que celui de la prime. La majoration prévue en faveur des couples monoactifs est, en effet, versée jusqu'à 2,13 SMIC. Elle est intégralement versée, à raison de 500 francs (76,22 euros), jusqu'à 2 SMIC, et fait ensuite l'objet d'une réduction « en biseau » suivant un taux de 5,5%

The example above goes along with the 'times', of the other answers...:0)

thanks, although I think that it isn't correct....:)
neutral Richard Benham : Humm. It seems more as though it should be "1 to 2 times the minimum wage".
