Inspection intensity
Sample-basedFrequent
Regular inspections
How strict are inspections in Schwyz?
Even in Schwyz, registration is mandatory from CHF 750 annual wage. A single spot check — or an employee accident — can expose an unregistered hire, with fines and back-payments.
With Clino you're correctly registered in minutes — registration, insurance and payroll included.
Backdated registration
What if I've never registered my cleaner?
Common situation. SVA Schwyz accepts backdated registrations, far cheaper than getting caught.
1
Up to 5 years backdated
Declare wages from the last 5 years. SVA Schwyz issues one consolidated statement.
2
Self-declaration avoids the fine
Self-report and you pay only the contributions. Get caught and you risk up to CHF 10,000 (BGSA) plus interest.
3
Inspections are real
The Schwyz undeclared-work inspectorate randomly audits private households, more so since 2024.
⚠️ BGSA fines up to CHF 5,000 for negligence, up to CHF 10,000 for intent — plus backdated contributions.
