Register a cleaner in Dübendorf,
everything prepared.

Online, with federal form 318.147, which SVA Zürich links to itself. In it you choose the simplified procedure and SVA Zürich as the recipient. Clino prepares the details. The confirmation comes by post. AHVeasy, SVA's portal for the annual report, only opens after that: SVA sends the activation code by post.

The family allowance contribution (FAK) is 1.025% of gross wages in the Canton of Zürich, paid solely by the employer. Clino calculates this automatically.

There is no cantonal minimum wage in Zurich. The minimum wage of the federal NAV for household work is binding: CHF 20.35 an hour unskilled, CHF 22.30 with 4 years' experience or an EBA, CHF 24.55 with an EFZ. It applies from 5 hours a week with the same household. The city of Zurich has voted a minimum wage of CHF 23.90. It is not in force yet. The city of Winterthur has voted a minimum wage of CHF 23.00. It is not in force yet.

Child allowance: CHF 215 per child a month, CHF 268 for children over 12. Training allowance: CHF 268 a month. As of 2026.

Under the simplified procedure you settle AHV/IV/EO, unemployment insurance and a 5 % withholding tax once a year through the compensation office (SVA Zürich). It is optional and applies up to CHF 22'680 of annual wage per person and CHF 60'480 for all the household's employees together. Accident insurance (UVG) is only included if you choose the plus option when you register. Otherwise you take it out yourself with an insurer.

An employer who does not join a compensation office and settle the wages commits an offence under the AHV Act: a monetary penalty of up to 180 daily units (Art. 87 AHVG). On top come the social insurance contributions, as a rule back-dated up to 5 years.

In the simplified procedure, yes, for every employee: 5 % withholding tax, whatever the nationality or permit, Swiss nationals and C permit holders included. SVA Zürich settles it together with the contributions. In the ordinary procedure, withholding tax applies only without a C permit (for example B, L or G), at the ordinary tariff.

Usually no. Occupational pension only becomes mandatory once the annual wage exceeds the BVG entry threshold (CHF 22,680). Most private-household cleaning hours stay below it. Clino flags it for you if the threshold is reached.

Each employer registers and settles their own share of the wage separately with SVA Zürich. You only declare what you pay, the other households handle their own arrangements.

Yes. You enter the existing working conditions and Clino prepares the contract and the SVA Zürich registration. If an earlier registration is missing, you catch up voluntarily: contributions can, as a rule, be claimed up to 5 years back, but registering yourself puts you in a far better position than an inspection.

Registration itself is free. Only the social contributions apply: AHV/IV/EO 10.6% and ALV 2.2% (split in half), plus the cantonal FAK contribution (employer only) and UVG, and the compensation office's administrative fee. Clino calculates all Dübendorf rates automatically.

In a private household, AHV registration is mandatory from the first franc – across Switzerland, including in Dübendorf. Only young people up to the year they turn 17 and, for employees up to age 25, wages up to CHF 750/year stay exempt, unless the employee asks to pay contributions.
