The DSN (déclaration sociale nominative) is the mandatory monthly declaration through which French employers report pay and social data for each employee to the social administrations. It replaces most older declarations and must be filed every month - we prepare and file it for you as part of our payroll service.

Why do French pay slips depend on a collective agreement?

Almost every business activity in France falls under a collective bargaining agreement (convention collective) which adds rules on minimum pay, bonuses, notice periods and working time on top of the labour code. Your pay slips must comply with it - we identify the right agreement for your activity and apply it.

Can you handle hiring my first employee in France?

Yes. We take care of the hiring formalities (pre-employment declaration), draft the employment contract, set up payroll and the monthly DSN, and advise you on the social charges to expect so there are no surprises on the real cost of the hire.
