No Chèque serviceIs there a Chèque service in the canton of Vaud?
No. The state-backed Chèque service exists only in the canton of Geneva. In Vaud you register your cleaner directly with the cantonal compensation fund, or you go through an independent organisation. Both routes at a glance:
Directly with the Caisse cantonale vaudoise de compensation
- Registration runs through the Vaud fund's online form «S'affilier en tant qu'employeur en procédure simplifiée (LTN)».
- Later wage declarations run through the fund's own portal, votreAVSVaud, not AHVeasy.
- A first affiliation is possible at any time. Only a change of settlement procedure has to be announced before the end of the preceding year.
- Clino prepares the contract and wage data and guides you step by step through the form.
EPER, Vaud's cheque-emploi organisation
- In Vaud, EPER (Entraide Protestante Suisse) holds the cheque-emploi role that Chèque service holds in Geneva.
- A legally independent organisation with its own fees and tools, no cantonal portal and no shared platform with Geneva.
Vaud specialty: Vaud is one of the very few cantons where a small family-allowance share is also deducted from the employee's wage (0.09% of gross). Clino accounts for it automatically in the payslip.
