Centralization must not mix legal files
A group, accounting firm or owner with several entities may want one tool for payroll. That is useful for management, but each company remains a separate legal, social, tax and accounting file.
DZ Compta must therefore provide one workspace per entity, separated parameters, controlled access and consolidated indicators for management.
What must remain separated
Company identity, employees, contracts, payroll items, payslips, CNAS states, IRG states, DAS, banks, payment files, accounting entries and archives must remain attached to the correct company.
The risk is not only technical. A declaration under the wrong company name or salary data visible to the wrong user creates a real compliance and confidentiality issue.
Each company should therefore keep its own tax identifiers, accounting accounts, bank settings, authorized users, payroll periods and posting rules. Management can consolidate indicators, but operational users should only access the entities they are allowed to process.
For an accounting firm, this separation is even more important because the same platform can hold payroll files for several unrelated clients.
Link with automation and accounting
Payroll automation must respect company boundaries. The accounting entry must go to the correct accounting file, and each company must reconcile its own social contributions, salary IRG and payslips.

Keep each company separated
Consolidation helps management. It must never replace legal controls by company.
