For hosts
Three things many hosts don't know.
- 2turnovers a month are enoughEmployer
Regular means employed.
If someone cleans to your booking calendar, in your flat, following your instructions, that is an employment relationship. In a private household, AHV contributions are due from the first franc.
Work out the cost per turnoverWhat it means for you
You register your cleaner with your compensation fund.
- 1hour a week is enoughAccident insurance (UVG)
Accident insurance is mandatory.
From the very first hour. The AHV registration alone does not cover accidents.
The four stepsWhat it means for you
From 8 hours a week, accidents off the job are covered too.
- 5years of contributions the fund can generally claim backInvoice or employment?
An invoice makes nobody self-employed.
Your flat, your schedule, your instructions: the compensation fund looks at the criteria, not the paper, and in case of doubt reclassifies retroactively.
The invoice myth in detailWhat it means for you
Your cleaner is only self-employed with her own AHV status, confirmed by the fund.

Register your cleaner
With the AHV number (756.…) and the first working day, within a month.
Accident insurance never happens by itself. You tick it when you register, where the fund offers it, or you take out a policy.
Deadline: within a month of the first working day. The confirmation usually takes a few weeks.

My cleaner has other clients. Does that not make her self-employed?
Generally no. Several clients make nobody self-employed; each relationship is judged on its own. If she cleans for you regularly, to your booking calendar, with your supplies, you are the employer for your share, exactly like every other host she works for. She only counts as self-employed with her own AHV status as a self-employed person, confirmed by the compensation office for this activity.
And if I hire a cleaning company?
Then you are not an employer: the company employs its people, settles the social insurances and invoices you. That is the legitimate route without employment, but it typically costs CHF 35-55 per hour instead of CHF 25-31 directly. This page covers the most common case: a private cleaner who cleans for you regularly.
May I pay cash?
Yes. Cash or bank transfer makes no difference; what matters is that the employment relationship is registered with the compensation office and a payslip exists. Undeclared work does not mean paid in cash, it means not registered.
She only cleans twice a month. Does this still apply?
Yes. Regularity counts, not the workload: even two turnovers a month are an employment relationship, and in a private household AHV contributions are due from the first franc. The often-quoted CHF 750 threshold is an exception for sideline jobs of under-25s, not a general allowance.
What about the visitor's tax, registration duties and subletting?
Separate construction sites. Visitor's tax, commercial permits and the rules of your municipality or your landlord concern the letting itself and have nothing to do with the employment. Clino covers the employment relationship with your cleaner, not your rental.
Can I deduct the cleaning costs from my taxes?
For a rented-out flat, cleaning costs are usually deductible from the taxable rental income as maintenance or management costs; with payslips and the office's annual invoice you hold the receipts for it. Your canton's practice governs; ask your tax office in case of doubt.
So far it ran without registration. What now?
Register, and run it cleanly from here. The office can claim contributions back for up to five years (Art. 16 AHVG); coming forward yourself puts you in a much better position than being caught in an inspection. Clino prepares the registration; the past period you settle directly with your compensation office.
