Payroll Switzerland

One of the greatest challenges in the global mobility sector is the management of payroll for employees who have social security obligations in one country, tax obligations in another, and possibly even receive their salary in a third country.

In this regard, it has long been more than just international assignees but increasingly also locally hired employees who, due to their private and professional situation, have their place of residence in a different country, where they may have withholding tax obligations for their earned income or be subject to social security obligations which the employer is to comply with.

We provide a tailor-made solution!

Due to our networked approach, we can assist you with the management of a payroll for locally hired employees - all the way up to handling the entire payroll or parts of it. Such partial areas may include e.g. your project employees who are constantly working on projects overseas or your other expatriates.

We assist you on the search for the right insurance solutions as well as the registration and ultimately the generation of the pay slips, regardless of whether they are based on net or gross compensation agreements. We compile the right gross up calculations for you.

Our key consulting services:

  • Competency center for HR departments with regard to global mobility and international assignments
  • Outsourcing of partial aspects such as case management for individual assignment cases, HR administration, or payroll
  • Outsourcing of the overall expatriate management or individual partial areas as desired
  • Referral of interim personnel in the field of global mobility
