Social security
Social Insurance CH
“During the planning of an international assignment, it is essential to conduct an assessment from a social security standpoint.”
Over the past few years, this aspect has also gained in importance. The statutory regulations have become increasingly dense. In countries where there had been no social security system for foreigners just a few years ago, international employees are already being included in the system. Hence, it is not only necessary to keep an eye on the statutory regulations in the home country and the option of continued coverage, but also to accommodate the regulations in the host country. However, the main point regarding social security continues to be ensuring that the employee possesses sufficient insurance coverage during the international assignment.
We would be glad to help your company find the best solution.
Social security in Switzerland
Every person living in Switzerland can receive excellent social security coverage through the three-pillar concept.
Compared to our neighboring countries, the costs incurred for both the employer and employee are at the upper end, but where stability and benefits are concerned, the Swiss system also comes out top.
We would be glad to guide and assist you, when searching for the best insurance for your company or your foreign employees, with the reclamation of contributions paid when returning from abroad, and the exemption from the mandatory Swiss health insurance.
Social security in an international context
Constellations of international assignments encountered today certainly no longer consist of just a posting from one country to another. Oftentimes, the employees are not even citizens of the country from which they are sent abroad. Furthermore, the professional activities are not only performed in one country but in multiple countries.
Hence, it is necessary to maintain an overview of national and international standards as well as to remain up-to-date in all countries. Our clients benefit from our long-standing expertise. Together with our CONVINUS Global Network, we are an unbeatable team.
