The DSN was introduced by the Warsmann law passed on February 29, 2012 with a view to simplifying administration. This is an exceptional eventThe single, dematerialized declaration has replaced most social declarations. In detail, it has already replaced some forty formalities relating to payroll data.

The DSN also makes it possible to report exceptional events affecting employees on an ad hoc basis. Employers can use it to declare :

  • Work stoppage ;
  • A sick leave.

Who is concerned by the DSN ?

The DSN affects all companies in the private sector subject to the general scheme. It also applies to structures that fall under the agricultural social security system of social security (MSA). However, some employers are not concerned, namely:

  • Individual employers;

  • Some companies located in geographical areas that are not covered by the DSN, such as Monaco, some overseas territories, etc., will have to fill in the DSN. ;
  • Employers completing an NSD, but providing work to people not concerned by the single declaration;
  • Establishments that have recently joined the DSN system and have not yet been registered for the DSN will have to use the site’having been unable to communicate data on complementary organizations.

For these employers, it is necessary to make the necessary correctionsTo continue to complete a unified annual social data declaration (DADS-U). Individual employers can use the Universal service employment cheque (CESU).

Completing a DSN is mandatory for all employers involved. In case of failure, they are exposed to a penalty established according to a percentage of the monthly ceiling of the Social Security.

In order to Completing a DSN, employers who must first have a compatible payroll software. They also have the possibility to outsource the payroll processing. Thereafter, it will be necessary to register for the DSN. For this, employers must use the Net-Entreprises site if their employees are affiliated to the general scheme.

If these fall under the agricultural regime instead, the registration must be done on the official website of the MSA.

The next step is to inform employees the entry into the scope of the DSN. Finally, employers will be able to file a test DSN. This will allow them to become aware of any anomalies.

Once these are corrected, they will be able to transmit the DSN in real time.

That’is the monthly DSN ?

The DSN is a monthly file. In concrete terms, it must be transmitted for each employee each month at the end of the payroll. This system allows the payroll manager to communicate to social organizations the employer data on which the payment of social contributions depends.

In other words, the DSN triggers the payment of monthly employer contributions.

For companies that count at least 50 employees and who allocate the payrolls during the working month, the DSN must be sent before the 5th of the months. The other establishments benefit from an additional delay of 10 days at the most. For these companies, the transmission of the DSN must thus be made by the 15th of the month.

Finally, it should be noted that if an employment contract is terminated (e.g. resignation or dismissal), the event must be reported within 5 days.

What are the advantages of DSN for companies? ?

DSN offers many advantages benefits to companies. First, it allows them to easily transmit information on an employee to various administrations such as Urssaf, Pôle emploi, Assurance Maladie or DGFiP. In addition, it considerably reduces the number of returns to be filed.

In addition, the DSN ensures the securing and the reliability of the payment of social security contributions. Indeed, it limits the risks of errors and litigation. Therefore, companies will avoid certain penalties.

Note that companies are not the only ones to benefit from the DSN. The transparency of social data promoted by this system also makes it possible to consolidate employees’ rights.

It is appropriate to distinguish the DSN from the social declaration of the self-employed (DSI). The second allows workers attached to the social security system for independent workers (RSI) to declare their income. These will serve as the basis for calculating :

  • The generalized social contribution (CSG);
  • The contribution to the reimbursement of the social debte (CRDS).
