Is your cleaner
correctly registered?

No. Clino isn't a staffing or cleaning agency. You've already found someone. Clino handles 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)

The simplified procedure (under the BGSA) allows private households to settle social contributions and a flat-rate withholding tax of 5% through a single body — the cantonal compensation office. (Source: BGSA) It applies to salaries up to CHF 22'680 per person per year. The advantage: no separate salary statement needed, no tax return for the salary, and accident insurance can, in cantons that offer it, be insured via VAVplus. (Merkblatt 2.06)

Depending on the salary, between 30% and 60% on fees. For a typical housekeeper (3 hours per week, CHF 30/h), you pay CHF 19.90 per month with us (flat fee) instead of CHF 43.76 with Quitt Start or CHF 33.60 with Quitt Comfort. The social contributions themselves remain identical — the state calculates those, not us. Detailed comparison with calculator →

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, you are personally liable as the employer — including for treatment costs.

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 immediately. If you cancel within 30 days, you pay nothing. After that, it's CHF 19.90 per month, cancellable monthly.

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.
