URSSAF Employee Declaration Form (DPAE)

Streamline Your URSSAF Employee Declarations with Paperform

The Déclaration Préalable à l'Embauche (DPAE) is a mandatory requirement for all French employers when hiring new employees. This URSSAF Employee Declaration Form template helps businesses operating in France fulfill their legal obligations efficiently, ensuring compliance with French social security and labour regulations.

Whether you're an HR manager, business owner, or accounting professional managing French payroll, this template simplifies the process of collecting and reporting the information URSSAF requires for each new hire. Instead of juggling paper forms or complicated government portals, you can collect all necessary details—from SIRET numbers and contract types to work schedules and social security information—in one professional, easy-to-complete form.

Built for French businesses and their compliance needs

This template captures all mandatory fields required by URSSAF, including employer identification (SIRET, company name, establishment details), employee personal information (full name, date of birth, social security number, nationality), contract specifications (type of contract, start date, duration), work schedule details (full-time or part-time status, hours per week), and compensation information.

The form uses conditional logic to adapt based on contract type—displaying additional fields for fixed-term contracts (CDD) or requesting specific details for part-time arrangements. This ensures you collect exactly what's needed without overwhelming users with irrelevant questions.
