Assistance contribution: wages and IV invoice in one place. A payslip every month.

From the first employment contract, and that can come before the decision. Once the decision is in, the IV pays retroactively from the month you applied, as long as the contracts were in place and you were registered as an employer. The IV office in the canton of Vaud also requires that the wages for that period were already declared and paid. If the IV says no, you carry the wages yourself.

No. The CHF 35.30 per hour covers wages, holidays and social insurance. The IV pays for advice up to CHF 1'500 every three years, but excludes recurring payroll from that. Clino costs CHF 19.90 a month, however many assistants you employ.

No, you do: through your IV office's invoicing portal, by post or by email. Clino prepares the invoice laid out like form 318.536 with the record of hours, and if you wish it fills in your copy of the official form. If your IV office also asks for the payslips, as Zurich does for example, they are ready in Clino.

At least the minimum wage under the NAV for domestic work. The IV has required this since 2026. There is no upper limit, but the IV only pays CHF 35.30 per hour including holidays and contributions. Depending on the canton, that covers about CHF 30 gross wage per hour. Anything above that, you pay yourself.

You keep paying the wage, like any employer. The IV reimburses this under the Bern scale, for at most three months, outside your annual amount (item 665.05, doctor's certificate from the 4th day). If you are in hospital yourself, item 665.06 applies: at most three months per event, within your annual amount. Clino records both items in the month of the absence and prepares Beiblatt 1 and 2.

Accident insurance always, and cover for non-occupational accidents from 8 hours a week. BVG from an annual wage of CHF 22'680 per person. If every assistant stays below that and all wages together stay under CHF 60'480, you settle under the simplified procedure. Clino shows you what applies to you.

Yes. Then your legal representative signs the contracts in your name and runs the Clino account, meaning your parents or your deputy. Your parents or your deputy cannot be employed as your assistants, but your siblings can. If a child lives with their parents, the IV usually pays eleven instead of twelve monthly amounts a year.

If you have several assistants or retype the invoice every month: yes. You enter the decision once, and from then on the payslips, record of hours and invoice all come from the same hours. Your existing documents remain valid.
