In brief
Do I even have to register my nanny?
Yes — short and honest. As soon as someone works in your home and you set the wage and hours, she's your employee. From the very first hour, with no minimum workload. Sounds like a hassle. With Clino it takes 5 minutes.
No minimum hours
Even 4 hours a week count. There's no threshold below which it's "not necessary".
From the very first franc
AHV (old-age insurance), ALV (unemployment insurance) and UVG (accident insurance) are mandatory. The CHF 2'300 exemption does not apply to household employees.
It protects you
If an accident happens, you're personally liable without a policy. Registered, you're on the safe side.

Inspection intensity
Sample-basedFrequent
Increased inspections
How strict are inspections in Basel-Landschaft?
In Basel-Landschaft, undeclared-work inspections are active. Failing to register your nanny risks fines, up to 5 years of back-paid social contributions and, in serious cases, prosecution.
With Clino you register your nanny in minutes. Clino guides you step by step through registration, insurance and payroll.
Register your nanny nowSorting it out later
Been paying for a while with no registration? No drama.
Many families pay cash at first — and only realise later that they should have registered. This can be put right, and the sooner the easier.
1
Register retroactively
The SVA Basel-Landschaft accepts back-dated registrations. The sooner you do it, the smaller the back-payment.
2
Clino sets everything up
We help with the back-registration and take over the ongoing payroll from now on.
3
Peace of mind, not risk
You're properly set up — before any inspection comes.
Tax deduction Basel-Landschaft
Registered? Then get something back.
You can deduct childcare costs — with a marginal tax rate of ~24% in Basel-Landschaft, that means up to around CHF 2'880/year back per child. Canton of Basel-Landschaft: childcare costs are deductible cantonally (check the maximum amount with the cantonal tax office), and federally up to CHF 25'800/child (2026).
The condition is a wage statement (Lohnausweis) — which you only get with properly registered childcare. One more reason to do it right.
Comparison Basel-Landschaft
Nanny or daycare — what suits you?

Important on scope: per SECO's information sheet (as of 1.1.2026, section 2.1) the federal NAV Hauswirtschaft expressly excludes "persons mainly responsible for childcare (childminders and babysitters)". For a pure childcare role there is therefore no federal minimum wage — the rates shown here are then a reference, not an obligation. Where the nanny also does substantial housework, the NAV applies. Cantonal minimum wages apply regardless.

FAQ Basel-Landschaft
Frequently asked questions
Do I really have to register my nanny — even for just a few hours?
Yes. For household employees there is no minimum number of hours and no de-minimis threshold. From the very first franc you must pay AHV/IV/EO, ALV and UVG accident insurance. The exemption for very small wages (CHF 2'300/year) explicitly does not apply to nannies and other household employees. Paying a nanny in cash and unregistered is undeclared work.
I've been paying my nanny without registering her for a while — what now?
No need to panic. You can register the employment retroactively (back-registration with the SVA Basel-Landschaft). The sooner you do it, the smaller the back-payment — and you avoid fines if it comes to light during an inspection. Clino helps you with the back-registration and then sets up the ongoing payroll automatically.
What exactly does Clino handle for me?
Registration with the SVA Basel-Landschaft, an employment contract under the NAV Hauswirtschaft (standard household-employment contract), a UVG policy via a partner insurer, monthly payroll, the wage statement (Lohnausweis) and the annual declaration. You only enter the workload and wage — we take care of the paperwork. CHF 19.90/month, cancel anytime.
Which compensation office is responsible for Basel-Landschaft?
SVA Basel-Landschaft. Registration of household-staff employers and wage declaration via the connect portal.
Does a cantonal minimum wage apply in Basel-Landschaft?
No, unlike Basel-Stadt, BL has no cantonal minimum wage. The NAV Hauswirtschaft applies (CHF 20.35–24.55/hr, 2026). The market rate is CHF 27–35/hr.
What if the nanny lives in the city of Basel?
What counts is your place of residence as the employer. If you live in Basel-Landschaft, registration goes through SVA Basel-Landschaft — even if the nanny commutes from Basel-Stadt.

CHF 215/month child allowance, CHF 268/month education allowance (2026).
