THE COST OF NOT OUTSOURCING

Payroll in Switzerland is a discipline in its own right

❌ 26 different cantonal systems

Each canton has its own rules for withholding tax, social contributions, and family allowances.

❌ Continuous regulatory updates

AHV/IV, accident insurance, occupational pensions, health insurance — calculation bases change every year. One mistake can be costly.

❌ Work permit management

B, C, G, L permits: each status involves specific declarations to the cantonal authorities.

❌ Hidden costs of in-house software

Licenses, training, maintenance, hiring a payroll specialist — often 3–5× more expensive than expected.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

HR leaders who have regained their time.

What they say after 6, 12, 24 months with Helvetic Payroll.

Before, our payroll specialist spent 4 days per month just on withholding tax declarations and cross-border cases. Today, it’s handled by Helvetic Payroll. We don’t think about it anymore. It sounds simple, but for an HR team of 3 people, it’s huge.

Nathalie F.
HR Director · Industrial company · 80 employees · Geneva

We have teams spread across 6 cantons, with B, G, and L permits. Helvetic Payroll handles everything without us having to worry about it. We receive clear and structured reporting every month. It’s exactly what we needed.

Marc-Antoine B.
CFO · Tech scale-up · 140 employees · Lausanne

The migration from our SAP system was completed in 10 working days. No issues at all. The first payroll with Helvetic was flawless, and we immediately felt the difference: no one internally has to “watch” payroll anymore. It just runs.

Isabelle L.
Head of People · Biotech Company · 55 employees · Zurich

We’re a 30-person SME with very diverse profiles: residents, cross-border workers, expatriates. I didn’t have the resources to manage this internally. Helvetic Payroll is like having a dedicated HR department, without the fixed costs.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Didn’t find the answer to your question? Contact us, we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

How much does payroll outsourcing with Helvetic Payroll cost?

Our pricing is transparent and based on the number of employees. Contact us for a precise estimation within 48 hours.

How long does the migration from my current system take?

On average, the migration takes between 1 and 2 months, depending on the size and complexity of your organisation.
Our teams take over your payroll history and configure your environment to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted transition.

Do you manage withholding tax and work permits?

Yes, this is one of our core specialties. We handle withholding tax declarations for all statuses (B, G, L permits, cross-border workers) across all 26 cantons, taking into account each canton’s specific requirements. This is precisely where generic software reaches its limits, and where our human expertise makes the difference. No additional cost for this scope.

What happens if regulations change during the year?

That’s our responsibility, not yours. Our team monitors in real time any changes to AHV/IV, occupational pensions, accident insurance, cantonal withholding tax rates, and all legal updates. We update our tools and your payroll accordingly, without you having to lift a finger. If an error occurs on our side, we take full responsibility for corrections and any potential penalties.

Do my employees have access to their payslips?

Yes. Each employee has secure personal access to their portal. They can view their payslips, salary certificates, employment attestations, and HR documents at any time, from any device. Your HR team has administrative access with a consolidated view of all employees.

Is there a minimum contractual commitment?

No. We do not require any minimum contractual commitment.
You remain free to terminate the collaboration at any time, subject to a 3-month notice period.

What retains our clients is not contractual constraints, but the quality of our service. That’s why the vast majority of them work with us long term.

How is my employees’ data secured?

Our infrastructure is hosted in Switzerland and complies with the requirements of the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (nLPD). Your employees’ data is used exclusively for payroll processing and reporting to the relevant authorities (social security institutions, withholding tax, cantonal authorities). We do not use or sell this data to third parties.
