Our Story

Why Clino Exists

I came to Switzerland from Spain in 2017 and saw people everywhere working without being registered. Not out of bad intent: the system is simply too complicated.

Clino makes legal employment the easiest path. Social security, accident insurance, a proper contract. That's not a luxury, it's a fundamental right.

Every franc correctly declared strengthens our social system.

FAQ

What households ask us before they start

No. Clino isn't a staffing or cleaning agency. You've already found someone. Clino guides you through employing them correctly: employment contract, payroll, insurance and AHV registration. Who you hire is entirely up to you.

In almost every case: yes. In Switzerland, every private employer is legally required to register domestic workers with the AHV (social insurance) and insure them against accidents. (Merkblatt 2.06) There is one small exception: people under 25 who earn less than CHF 750 per year. Clino checks this automatically during the process. Undeclared employment can lead to fines and back payments for both parties. (Source: BGSA)

Especially then. From just one hour per week, you're legally required to register with AHV as an employer. Most of our customers have exactly one housekeeper for a few hours. CHF 19.90 per month is the same price, whether it's 3 or 20 hours.

Two things: first, sign the employment contract with your housekeeper (we generate it for you). Second, register once with the compensation office of your canton. We provide you with a step-by-step guide with the right contact details and forms. → Guide for your canton

Only after 30 days. You can register for free; to start your trial and download documents you add a card in your dashboard, but you're not charged until 30 days have passed. If you cancel within 30 days, you pay nothing. After that, it's CHF 19.90 per month, cancellable monthly.

Through the simplified procedure with VAVplus, the mandatory accident insurance (UVG) can be insured on request. You opt in when you register (in cantons that offer VAVplus). (Source: Suva) In case of a work accident, the insurance covers treatment costs and daily allowances. Without registration, the Ersatzkasse UVG pays and charges you as the employer substitute premiums (Art. 95 UVG).

Yes, this is a common reason customers come to Clino. You can start running the employment correctly right away. Clino creates the contract and payslip and shows you how to file the late registration with the compensation office.

No. You can start right away and create the employment contract. The AHV number and other documents can be added anytime later. Clino automatically reminds you which information is still missing.

The contract is ready before your coffee gets cold.

Enter your data, download the contract, submit the AHV form. Clino reminds you of every deadline.

By day 30 the registration is long done. Then CHF 19.90 a month.
