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.

UNDECLAREDThe dark reality.
  • No contract — just a handshake
  • Accident? You pay the medical bills
  • Fines up to CHF 10,000 + 5 years back pay
REGISTEREDThe bright reality.
  • NAV-compliant employment contract
  • Accident insurance from hour one
  • AHV settled cleanly — CHF 19.90/mo.

Tax deduction Solothurn

Registered? Then get something back.

You can deduct childcare costs — with a marginal tax rate of ~22% in Solothurn, that means up to around CHF 2'680/year back per child. Canton of Solothurn: 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.

FAQ Solothurn

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 Ausgleichskasse des Kantons Solothurn). 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 Ausgleichskasse des Kantons Solothurn, 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 in the canton of Solothurn?
Ausgleichskasse des Kantons Solothurn. Simplified billing and wage declaration via the connect portal.
Is there a minimum wage in the canton of Solothurn?
No. The NAV Hauswirtschaft applies (CHF 20.35–24.55/hr, 2026). In the canton of Solothurn the market rate is CHF 25–32/hr.
How high is the child allowance in Solothurn?
CHF 215/month child allowance, CHF 268/month education allowance (2026).
Is the simplified procedure worth it?
