Comparison Uri
Nanny or daycare: what suits you?
Full-time daycare (Kita) per child vs. a full-time nanny (40 hrs/week). CHF/month, before subsidies.
Nanny, daycare, au pair & childminder in full comparison →- • From 2 children on, a nanny quickly becomes cheaper than daycare.
- • A tax deduction of up to CHF 25'800/child (federal) is also possible.
Childcare
Four rules for every nanny contract.
Childcare has its own rules. These four belong in every contract.
Overtime is paid
Beyond the agreed hours: a 25% supplement, or the same amount of time off if you both agree (Art. 321c OR). Waiving it only counts in writing.
No banked hours
If you don't need the nanny because you are on holiday or a child is ill, you still pay the full wage (Art. 324 OR). Minus hours are not allowed.
An au pair is not a nanny
Au pair means at most 30 hours a week, room and board, a language course, and a parent at home at least half the time. Whoever looks after the children more, or alone, is a nanny.
Full time means a pension fund
From CHF 22'680 a year, the pension fund (BVG) is mandatory. Clino includes it in every payslip.
The nanny contract in the kit already has the overtime and banked-hours clauses. ↑
Typical market rates, according to the Swiss Nanny Association
CHF 5'000–6'500
gross per month, or CHF 25–40 an hour, depending on experience. The minimum wage is a floor, not a recommended rate.

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 pay AHV/IV/EO, ALV and UVG accident insurance. The exemption for very small wages (CHF 2'500/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 Sozialversicherungsstelle Uri). The sooner you do it, the smaller the back-payment, and you avoid a penalty if it comes to light in an inspection. Clino helps you with the back-registration and then sets up the ongoing payroll.
What exactly does Clino prepare for me?
Clino prepares the registration with the Sozialversicherungsstelle Uri, the nanny contract with the overtime rule, a comparison of UVG policies with the application ready, the monthly payslip, the wage statement (Lohnausweis) and the annual declaration. You enter the workload and wage, check and send. You take out the insurance yourself. CHF 19.90/month, cancel monthly.
Which compensation office is responsible in the canton of Uri?
Sozialversicherungsstelle Uri. With the federal online form 318.147. On the last page, choose «Sozialversicherungsstelle Uri» as the recipient. The connect portal only comes in after registration, for the annual wage report.
Is there a minimum wage in the canton of Uri?
There is no cantonal minimum wage in Uri. The minimum wage of the federal NAV for household work (CHF 20.35/h unskilled, from 5 h/week) does not cover a nanny who mainly looks after the children. It applies as soon as housework makes up most of the job.
How high are the family allowances in Uri?
Child allowance: CHF 240 per child a month. Training allowance: CHF 290 a month. Plus a one-off birth allowance of CHF 1'200. As of 2026.
Is the simplified procedure worth it?
Up to CHF 22'680 annual wage per person you can choose it. It is optional. A flat 5% withholding tax, no separate tax return for the nanny.
