Add Worker Tax Elections (FRA)

Add Worker Tax Elections (FRA)

  • Define a SIREN company tax id on the
    Edit Company Tax Details
     task.
  • Security:
    Worker Data: Payroll (Company Specific) - FRA
     domain in the FRA Payroll functional area.
Enter worker details needed for tax and contribution calculations, such as:
  • AGIRC-ARRCO category.
  • Individual standard deduction rates.
  • ISD industries.
  • Mobility individual tax rates.
  • Retirement contributions for part-time workers.
  • International assignments.
  • Salary tax exemptions and sectors.
  • Tax residency.
  • URSSAF type of personnel.
Workday uses tax elections to determine which contributions apply to a worker. To ensure accurate DSN reporting, also verify on the
View HCM Mapping for Payroll France
 report that you correctly mapped the worker's:
  • Contract type.
  • Reason for a fixed term contract.
  • Employee type.
Except for apprentices, Workday uses the postal code of the job location to determine if contributions specific to the Alsace-Moselle region apply. Workday also uses the worker’s home address postal code to determine the type of neutral rate to calculate the withholding income tax.
You can use these web services to create an inbound EIB to perform mass updates on worker tax elections:
  • Put Payee Salary Tax
  • Put Payee ARRCO-AGIRC
  • Put Payee International Assignment
  • Put Payee Part Time Pension Option
  • Put Payee URSSAF
  1. Access the
    Add Worker FRA Tax Elections
     task and select the worker.
    The
    Company
     prompt displays the employee's company on the
    Effective Date
    . When the employee has a future hire date or has changed companies, select the company for which the tax election applies.
  2. Add a row in the
    URSSAF
     section. As you complete the section, consider:
    Option Description
    Type of Personnel
    When you don't define a tax election for an employee, Workday considers the employee to be in
    100 -
    General Plan
    .
    Degree Level in Progress
    For apprentices and professionalization contracts only. Select the type of degree that the worker is pursuing. Workday reports the selected degree level in progress in DSN rubric S21.G00.30.025.
    Individual Standard Deduction/Rate
    Only available for workers with a
    Type of Personnel
     set to
    100 - General Plan
    .
    If applicable, enter the percentage for the worker's individual standard deduction (déduction forfaitaire spécifique).
    Individual Standard Deduction/Industry
    Only available for workers with a
    Type of Personnel
     set to
    100 - General Plan
    .
    Select 1 of these industries if your company is eligible:
    • Construction

    Workday maintains these industry rates in a dedicated lookup table.
    Mobility Payment Contribution/Individual Tax
    Select to define individual mobility payment contribution rates and INSEE codes for an employee that vary from the establishment rates and INSEE codes. The rates are Additional Rate or Regional Rate.
  3. Add a row in the
    ARRCO-AGIRC
     section, and select the classification of the employee from the
    Category
     prompt.
    When you don't define a tax election for an employee, Workday considers the employee to be a
    Non Manager
    .
  4. For part-time workers, add a row to the
    Retirement Contributions for Part Time Worker
    grid. As you complete the section, consider:
    Option Description
    Contribution Option
    For full-time pension agreements, Workday applies additional contributions based on the difference between fictitious gross wages and the current gross pay.
    Workday uses the legal AGIRC-ARRCO and URSSAF rates for regular and additional contributions, unless you define company-specific AGIRC-ARRCO rates in the
    Edit Company FRA Tax Configuration
     task.
    You can view the calculated fictitious gross wages in these memo deductions:
    • Memo - Reference Values for AGIRC-ARRCO [FRA]
    • Memo - Reference Values for URSSAF
  5. For expatriates, cross-border workers, or workers on an international assignment, add a row to the
    International Assignment Status and Tax Residency
     grid. As you complete the section, consider:
    Option Description
    International Assignment Status
    When you don't define an international assignment status, Workday considers the worker's status to be
    99 - Not Applicable
    . Workday reports the international assignment status in block
    S21.G00.40.024
     of a DSN.
    For workers with an international assignment status of
    02 - Expatriate
    , Workday:
    • Blocks standard URSSAF and Pôle Emploi contributions.
    • Applies specific Pôle Emploi contributions.
    • Reports the worker's social security coverage in DSN reporting in rubrics
      S21.G00.40.18
      ,
      S21.G00.40.20
      , and
      S21.G00.40.39
      .
    Non-Resident
    Select the 
    Non-Resident
     check box for workers that have a nonresident tax status.
    For workers with a nonresident status and who are a posted worker, expatriate or cross border worker, Workday:
    • Applies some contribution exemptions and additional URSSAF contributions.
    • Reports the worker's international tax status in block
      S21.G00.30.022
       of a DSN.
    For nonresident workers who aren't an expatriate, posted worker, or cross-border worker, Workday:
    • Calculates income tax withholding of zero.
    • Calculates employee nonresident contributions for URS illness, maternity, invalidity, and death.
    • Excludes the worker from CSG/CRDS and social lump sum calculations.
    • Doesn't report an international tax status in DSN rubric S21.G00.30.022.
  6. As you complete the
    Salary Tax
     grid, consider:
    Option Description
    Exempted
    Select to exempt a worker from salary tax calculations.
    Activity
    For companies with multiple tax sectors. Select the activity that applies to the worker, when it’s different from the default activity defined on the
    Edit Company FRA Tax Configuration
     task.
  7. As you review the
    Withholding Tax Rate
     grid, consider:
    Option Description
    Rate
    View the worker's rate from the Direction Générale des Finances Publiques (DGFIP).
    When the rate is zero, Workday displays zero for income tax withholding on the payroll results and payslip.
    Neutral Rate
    When selected Workday calculates income tax withholding for a worker without a rate from DGFIP. Workday calculates a neutral rate based on:
    • The worker's monthly taxable net.
    • The applicable neutral rate scale based on the postal code of the worker's primary home address.
    Identifier
    Required for DSN reporting when you use a rate from the DGFIP to calculate income tax withholding.
    Validity End Date
    Workday uses the rate for all payments with a payment date before the
    Validity End Date
    .
    When you launch the
    DSN Polling (Machine to Machine)
     integration, it uploads any rates for income tax withholding available from the DGFIP. You can alternatively use the
    Import Withholding Tax Rates
     web service to mass upload worker withholding tax rates.
    Workday recommends that you avoid modifying worker income tax rates directly in a worker's tax elections, to ensure you use the same income tax rates as the DGFIP.
  • To correct a worker's tax elections, access the
    Worker FRA Tax Elections
     report. Select
    Worker Tax Election
    Edit
     from the related actions menu of the tax election.
  • When a worker changes companies, enter the worker's tax elections for the new company.
