- Establishments completing the NSN that were unable to transmit complementary bodies (CBs) in the DSN
Warning
all other employers must make a registered social declaration (DSN).
In the event of delay, omission or inaccuracy of the declared data, the employer may pay a penalty equal to €55 per employee up to €750 by declaration.
If the delay exceeds 1 month, an identical penalty shall be applied for each month or fraction of a month of delay.
The DADS-U shall contain the following elements:
- Identification of employer and employee
- Characteristics of employment and employment contract
- Period of employment
- Remuneration received in the previous year
- Contributions (and contribution bases) to cover entitlements to old-age and sickness insurance
The U-DADS must indicate one of the following 3 grounds for filing:
- EX: DSN-filling employer with populations excluded from the DSN scope
- NO: Employer not required to complete the NSD
- OC: employer who did not submit data from CB (complementary bodies) in the DSN
A company that has payroll software that meets the 4DS standard (electronic data interchange) "EDI") shall file the DADS-U online:
