From URSSAF cotisations and DSN to Prélèvement à la source and Mutuelle — Dapplon automates every French HR and payroll requirement on every pay run, fully RGPD-compliant.
Every French statutory obligation — calculated, declared, and filed automatically inside Dapplon on every payroll run.
URSSAF collects employer and employee social charges (~22% employee, ~42% employer of brut). Dapplon calculates Maladie, Vieillesse, Famille, Chômage, AT/MP, Retraite Complémentaire (Agirc-Arrco) and produces the monthly DSN.
Income tax is withheld at source by the employer using the rate transmitted by the DGFiP via DSN. Dapplon applies the personalised rate, neutral rate, or grille de taux as required, and reconciles each month.
The DSN replaces every old payroll declaration in France. Dapplon generates the monthly DSN, événementielle DSN (sickness, maternity, end of contract), and annual DSN — transmitted directly to net-entreprises.fr.
Dapplon calculates every employer and employee cotisation on each payroll run — Maladie, Vieillesse, Famille, Chômage, AT/MP, Agirc-Arrco T1 and T2 — and packages them into the Phase 3 DSN file ready to transmit to net-entreprises.fr.
Each month the DGFiP transmits the rate to apply per employee. Dapplon ingests the CRM Nominatif file, applies the correct rate (personnalised, neutral or grille), withholds from the net imposable, and reports back via the DSN — zero manual calculation.
Every French statutory obligation and HR workflow — built in, updated automatically, zero manual intervention required.
French payroll moves from Salaire brut to Net à payer through cotisations, CSG/CRDS, retraite complémentaire, mutuelle, and Prélèvement à la source. Dapplon handles every component automatically.

We used to lose two days a month on URSSAF reconciliations and DSN corrections. With Dapplon, the DSN is generated automatically the moment payroll runs, and the Prélèvement à la source rates from the DGFiP are applied without us touching them. Our paie team finally has time for actual HR work.
