What date does Workday use for data included in DSNs?
In the
Preview Worker
or
Preview Header
report in a DSN, you can view these dates:
  • Effective Date
    : The reference date used to retrieve worker, establishment, or event data. Example: For a monthly DSN, Workday reports the business title as of the period end date.
  • DSN Processing Moment
    : The DSN generation date.
  • Latest Payroll Calculation
    : The date of the payroll calculation results used in the DSN. Workday only displays it when it's different from the
    DSN Processing Moment
    .
When can I create a manual entry?
You can create a manual entry when a DSN has one of these statuses:
  • Error
    .
  • In Progress
    .

    (if the DSN isn't already included in a real submission).
Workday supports manual entries for all DSN blocks, except:

  • S21.G00.01
  • S21.G00.02
  • S21.G00.13

How do I process additional pay for a terminated worker?
To report the additional pay, cancel and replace the initial termination DSN. Workday automatically includes the additional pay in the next monthly DSN after the additional payment.
How do I report additional pay when I manage a worker's termination outside of Workday?
When you manage a worker's termination outside of Workday, you can still report any additional pay in a Monthly DSN:
  1. Access the
    Find DSN
    task to view a list of generated DSNs.
  2. From the related actions menu of a DSN, select
    DSN
    Preview Worker
    .
  3. In the right pane, navigate to block S21.G00.51.
  4. Click
    Add Manual Entry for S21.G00.51
    .
  5. Add the dates of the last subperiod before termination.
  6. Click
    Run DSN Preparation
    for the modification to take effect.
To cancel and replace the initial termination DSN, Workday recommends that you manually provide the updated Attestation Employeur (AE) on net-entreprises.fr.
How do I modify an absence after generating an Absence DSN?
If you haven't submitted the Absence DSN, cancel the Absence DSN before modifying the absence. You can then create a new Absence DSN. Regenerating the same DSN after modifying an absence can result in the DSN having multiple errors.
If you've already submitted the Absence DSN, you can cancel and replace it. Refer to the DSN technical specifications for guidance on specific cases.
How do I identify the company bank account used for payments?
For contributions, income tax withholding, and IJSS subrogation payments, Workday declares the
Default Bank Account
in the
Edit Bank Routing Rule
task.
How do I verify that the salary tax is reported in the December monthly DSN?
You can access the
Salary Tax Summary
report to view the salary tax details for each pay period. Workday reports yearly salary tax amounts in the December monthly DSN.
How do I prepare my monthly and yearly salary tax forms in Workday?
You can use the
Salary Tax Summary
report when preparing your monthly and yearly salary tax form submissions. The report extracts data only and doesn't output it in a final format. Transform the data to an appropriate form for submission and ensure that your reporting complies with regulations.
How do I report international transfers?
Workday identifies and reports workers transferring into or out of a French company. Workday uses the SIREN
Tax ID Type
on the
Tax IDs
tab of the
Edit Company Tax Details
task to determine if a company is French.
Type of Transfer
DSN Reporting
Transfer to France
In S21.G00.40.001, Workday reports the worker's transfer date as the contract start date.
Transfer from France
The month of the transfer, Workday reports a termination in block S21.G00.62 of the monthly DSN. For transfers, Workday uses the termination reason
998 - Work Contract Transfer to another Establishment without Contract Termination
.
Workday doesn't generate a termination DSN.
Does Workday report on-demand additional payments in a DSN?
When generating a monthly DSN, Workday includes any on-demand additional payments that target the current month in the monthly DSN, and also on-demand, prior period payments not previously reported in a DSN.
What do I need to do if my establishment changes SIRET?
To ensure accurate DSN reporting, Workday recommends that you create a new establishment when your establishment's SIRET changes.
You can then move all active workers to the new establishment. This will enable you to accurately report complementary pay to terminated workers from the old establishment.
How does Workday report terminations for workers without previous payroll results in Workday?
FCTU reporting typically requires you to report payroll results for the previous and current month in DSN block S21.G00.50. When you have a termination or retro termination in the first month of payroll results, Workday declares:
  • The payroll results of the current month only in block S21.G00.50.
  • A date 1 month in the future for rubric S21.G00.62.020.
This applies:
  • To workers with a contract start date before the first month of payroll results.
  • Regardless of whether the worker has a payroll history.
Workday never uses history payroll results in DSN block S21.G00.50.
How can I see comptes rendus métiers (CRMs)?
Access the
View DSN Responses (CRM)
report to verify the content of multiple CRMs of the same type. Workday supports reporting of these CRMs: 11, 20, 21, 22, 42 and 44.
How does Workday report retro benefit calculations?
For a retro calculation of benefits, Workday reports Cancel for a set of blocks 78, 79, and 81 and generates a Replace set of blocks 78, 79, and 81 with the new values.
When retro differences impact a previous quarter, we report:
  • A block 55 for each combination of Benefit Provider/Risk Holder/Benefit Contract/Quarter. If the establishment is the company's headquarters, the block 55 reports the amount to pay. Otherwise, the blocks 55 report an amount equal to 0.
  • A block 20 for each combination of Benefit Provider/Risk Holder. If the establishment is the company's headquarters, the blocks 20 report the sum of the blocks 55 for the Benefit Provider/Risk Holder. Otherwise, they report an amount equal to 0.
How does Workday handle DSN reporting with mixed results?
DSN reporting can contain mixed results, such as:
  • Regular on-cycle and off-cycle payroll results.
  • Results from the current period and prior period.
  • Workers with different period schedules.
  • Workers with different URSSAF contribution adjustments.
In these cases, Workday reports:
  • 1 DSN block S21.G00.20 per monthly DSN for DGFIP, and URSSAF.
  • 1 DSN block S21.G00.20 per quarter for each benefit provider.
  • 1 DSN block S21.G00.22 per period reported in a monthly DSN.
  • 1 DSN block S21.G00.23 per CTP and per month.
  • 1 DSN block S21.G00.20 per period for AGIRC-ARRCO.
For Pôle Emploi Contributions for expatriates, Workday reports as many blocks S21.G00.20 as periods with a regularization payment.
How can I find a file archive of a Workday-generated DSN? Or individual Excel files?
When you use the
DSN Deposit (Machine to Machine)
integration to generate your DSNs, you also have access to a file archive of your DSN.
Access the
View DSN Submission
task. You can download the zip file from the
Status

If Workday generates your DSN with the
DSN Deposit (Machine to Machine)
integration and you select
Generate Excel File
, then you can also view the individual Excel and text files in the
View DSN
task on the
DSN Submissions
tab in the
