Who processes the salaries?
Payroll administration is the work that brings the least joy in a business and involves the most deadlines. Marco Iten runs this area together with an administrator and looks after mandates with two to forty employees. You report arrivals and departures; everything else runs through us.
Monthly payroll processing
We prepare payslips, produce the payment file for your bank and post the salaries straight into the accounts. Hourly wages, supplements and holiday compensation are calculated according to your regulations. For a business with varying weekly workloads we deliver the payslips by the 25th of each month. On request we send them directly to your employees.
Social insurance and annual reports
We report arrivals and departures to the OASI, pension fund and accident insurer and prepare the annual statements. Salary statements are ready by the end of January. During a business takeover we registered fourteen people with a new compensation office within two weeks. We clarify discrepancies in statements directly with the offices.
Illness, accident and maternity
We coordinate continued salary payments, daily allowances and reporting deadlines so that the business doesn't lose any money. We fill in the forms, you sign them. In a six-month illness case, our accounting secured the employer a good 18 000 francs in daily allowances that would otherwise have been reported too late. Maternity benefits also run through us.
Withholding tax and cross-border commuters
We check the tax liability of employees without a residence permit and file withholding tax periodically. When someone's place of residence changes, we adjust the rates. For an engineering firm with employees from abroad we file monthly and submit the annual report on time. We keep track of the permit situation in the file.
Qualifications
Qualifications in payroll
Social insurance law changes almost every year, in contribution rates as well as reporting obligations. That's why we keep training continuously and have our work checked by a second person before statements go out. The following qualifications and memberships stand behind this area.
Federal certificate in social insurance
Marco Iten holds the federal certificate as a social insurance specialist. For you that means cases involving daily allowances, child allowances or partial disability are processed correctly. One example is coordinating sickness daily allowances and a preliminary disability insurance decision, where deadlines are easily lost. You don't have to deal with the insurance offices yourself.
Federal certificate in finance and accounting
Nadja Hürlimann holds the federal certificate and connects payroll and accounting. That way the payroll accounts and the financial statements match at year-end. If the compensation office announces an employer audit, the documents are ready and in order. We accompany such audits on site.
Certified fiduciary expert
Hanspeter Brunnwald reviews questions where payroll and taxes interact. These include company vehicles, expense regulations, and salary versus dividend for shareholders. For a GmbH with two owners he calculated the split so that OASI contributions and taxes add up together. We record the result in writing.
Member of TREUHAND SUISSE
As an association member we are bound by a professional code, confidentiality and professional liability insurance. Payroll data is particularly sensitive, which is why it is stored separately and accessible only to the responsible people. Through the association we also receive updated contribution rates and template forms every year. That benefits your payroll directly.
Bring your last payslip
For a first conversation about your payroll administration, three things are enough: the last payslip, the annual statement from the compensation office and the staff regulations, if you have any. With those we can tell you in half an hour what a switch would cost and how much work it would take off your hands.
