Payroll: common questions.
How much does it cost to outsource payroll?
CHF 250 per month plus CHF 29 to CHF 44 per employee, depending on how complex your payroll is, with year-end work included. The one-time setup costs CHF 690 with 4 hours included, and it is charged only once per company, even if you book payroll and HR administration together. For 10 employees on the Standard level, that comes to CHF 590 a month, and you can check your own figure in our cost calculator.
Do we have to switch payroll software?
No. We keep working in your current payroll software as long as the version you use is certified for Swissdec, and we check that before the first electronic filing. If you don't have a suitable solution yet, we choose a certified one together.
Who handles withholding tax?
We do. Withholding tax is calculated correctly every month and filed with the responsible canton, including rate changes after a marriage, a birth or a change in workload. That matters most for companies that employ cross-border commuters.
How quickly can we get started?
Usually within a few days. We take over your employee data in an orderly way and check that everything was recorded correctly.
