Every month, BNP Paribas employees receive their payslip in digital format on the Alis portal. The BNP Paribas payslip accessible via Alis has included an additional regulatory section, the net social amount, since 2024, as mandated by decree n° 2023-838 of August 30, 2023. This change alters the interpretation of the payslip and deserves attention even before discussing navigation or passwords.
Net social amount on the Alis payslip: what has changed since 2024
Decree n° 2023-838, published in the Official Journal on August 31, 2023, made it mandatory to display the net social amount on each payslip. For BNP Paribas employees, this line appears in a dedicated block on payslips downloaded from Alis starting from the 2024 pay periods.

This amount corresponds to the income considered for calculating certain social benefits. It differs from the net payable and the taxable net, which regularly raises questions.
| Payslip line | What it represents | Visible on Alis since |
|---|---|---|
| Net payable before tax | Amount paid into the bank account, before withholding tax | Always |
| Taxable net | Base for calculating income tax | Always |
| Net social amount | Reference income for social benefits (RSA, activity bonus) | 2024 payslips |
The difference between the taxable net and the net social amount lies in the contributions considered in each calculation. On the same Alis payslip, the discrepancy may be surprising, but it simply reflects two distinct calculation logics.

The payslips issued via Alis are prepared in HRIS tools connected to the Nominal Social Declaration (DSN). The DSN 2024.1 update has integrated these new regulatory sections, in accordance with URSSAF guidelines.
To consult your BNP Paribas payslip via Alis, you need to access the payroll section of your personal space, where each monthly payslip is archived in PDF format.
BNP Paribas electronic payslip: legal framework and retention
The transition to electronic payslips at BNP Paribas is based on ordinance n° 2016-1635 of December 1, 2016, and article L. 3243-2 of the Labor Code. These texts allow the employer to provide the payslip in digital format, unless there is an explicit objection from the employee.
In practice, an employee who does not object automatically receives their payslip in electronic format on Alis. The employer must ensure the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of the document for a minimum duration set by law.
- Article L. 3243-2 of the Labor Code requires the retention of the payslip in a secure space accessible to the employee
- The employee can request a return to paper format at any time, by simply notifying their HR manager
- Payslips archived on Alis remain downloadable even after a job change within the group
BNP Paribas has migrated part of its HR modules, including payslip consultation, to an internal cloud architecture that meets EBA and ACPR security and data localization requirements. This migration, documented in the group’s 2024 Universal Registration Document, has led to several scheduled maintenance windows in 2024 and 2025.
Alis maintenance windows and access to payslips: anticipating outages
Employees who try to download their payslip at the end of the month sometimes encounter an unavailable page. These interruptions are not random.
The migration to the private cloud has imposed regular maintenance windows on the Alis portal, usually signaled by internal messages a few days before the outage. The problem arises when the employee needs their payslip for an urgent matter (loan application, rental file).
Two reflexes can help limit the impact of these maintenance periods:
- Systematically download each payslip as soon as it becomes available, without waiting until it is needed
- Keep a local copy on a secure personal device, in addition to the Alis archiving
- Check announcements on the homepage of the portal before the end of the month, a period when maintenance is more frequent
In case of prolonged unavailability, the internal HR support remains the point of contact for obtaining a duplicate. The Group HR note, relayed by employee representatives and cited in the CFDT BNP Paribas reports of 2025, reminds of this procedure.
Reading the Alis payslip: identifying discrepancies between taxable net and social net
The coexistence of three “net” lines on the same payslip confuses many employees. The net payable is the amount transferred. The taxable net is used for tax purposes. The net social amount is for benefits.
The gap between the taxable net and the net social amount varies according to the employee’s contributions. Some employer contributions are reintegrated into the social net but not into the taxable net, and vice versa. An employee benefiting from a company health insurance plan with significant employer contribution will see a more pronounced gap.
To verify the consistency of their payslip, it is enough to compare the “total employee contributions” line with the gross amount, and then check that the net payable corresponds to the gross amount minus employee contributions and withholding tax. Any anomaly justifies reporting to the payroll manager via the Alis portal.
The net social amount section, although recent, is now automatically transmitted to the administration via the DSN. The employee does not need to take any action for this transmission, but it is in their interest to verify the displayed amount, as it will serve as a reference in case of a social benefit application.
The digital payslip on Alis remains a document with the same legal value as the paper format. The only difference lies in the medium, not in the legal strength. In the event of a labor dispute, a payslip downloaded from Alis is as valid as a printed document handed over in person.
