Frequently asked questions — Switzerland-wide
Do I really have to register my cleaner if she only comes 4 hours a week?
Yes, as soon as annual wages per person exceed CHF 750. At 4h/week × CHF 30/h × 50 weeks = CHF 6,000 — well above the threshold. The obligation applies from the first franc above CHF 750.
What is the simplified procedure?
A lump-sum process for private households: AHV, IV, EO, ALV, withholding tax and sometimes UVG are settled together in a single annual statement to the cantonal compensation office. Condition: max wage CHF 22,680 per year per employer.
Who pays which contributions — employer or cleaner?
AHV/IV/EO 10.6% and ALV 2.2% are split (5.3% and 1.1% each). FAK 0.5–3% per canton is paid solely by the employer. Occupational UVG by the employer; non-occupational UVG (~1%) by the cleaner.
Which compensation office is responsible?
The cantonal office of the employer's residence canton. In Zürich e.g. SVA Zürich (AHVeasy portal), in Bern SVA Bern, in Geneva OCAS. Clino detects it automatically from your postcode.
What about registering retroactively?
Possible and even recommended before an inspection. The compensation office will demand contributions for the past 5 years, possibly with interest. The undeclared-work fine is waived if you come forward voluntarily.
What does Clino cost?
CHF 19.90 per month — flat, regardless of how many payslips or employees. First 30 days free. Cancel monthly, no hidden fees.
