What we take on

How we take payroll off your hands

  1. Set-up

    We record employees, salary types, allowances and insurances – done properly once, then it runs.

  2. Monthly payroll

    You report changes such as hours, expenses or new hires; we prepare the payslips and the payments.

  3. Social insurances

    Registrations, deregistrations and annual returns with the AHV compensation fund, pension fund and accident insurer.

  4. Withholding tax

    Deduction and settlement with the cantonal tax office for employees subject to withholding tax and cross-border commuters.

  5. Year-end payroll

    Salary certificates for all employees and reconciliation with the financial accounts.

A good fit if …

  • you are hiring staff for the first time
  • you employ people subject to withholding tax or cross-border commuters
  • as owner of a GmbH or AG you pay yourself a salary
  • payroll currently takes up too much of your time
FAQ

Payroll accounting: good to know

Can I outsource only payroll?

Yes. You can outsource just payroll or your complete accounting to us. Both together save reconciliation work at year end.

When do I have to register employees with the AHV?

In principle from the first franc of salary. As an employer you join an AHV compensation fund and register your employees. There are exceptions for very small secondary incomes – we clarify this for you.

Who pays withholding tax?

As a rule, foreign employees without a C settlement permit and cross-border commuters. The employer deducts the tax from the salary and settles it with the tax office.

What do you need from me each month?

Only the changes: new hires and leavers, hours for hourly staff, expenses, allowances or absences. We do the rest.
