1. trust and the feel-good factor
Trust is the foundation of any successful collaboration. It is important to get a good feeling from the payrolling provider and their advisors. Pay attention to their competence, accessibility and commitment to assist you with questions and concerns. Open communication and a reliable contact person create a trusting basis for a long-term cooperation.
2. attractive and transparent payrolling costs
Fees or payrolling costs should be fair and competitive. A reputable provider will give you clear information about the fees incurred so that you can understand them. Transparency is essential to avoid unpleasant surprises and to better plan your budget.
3. daily sickness benefit insurance (KTG) in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement and OR regulations.
A reliable payroll provider should ensure that you as a freelancer are entitled to daily sickness benefits insurance from the third day of illness in accordance with the provisions of the Collective Labour Agreement for Staff Leasing. Likewise, the standard regulations of the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR) should be guaranteed in terms of employer obligations in Switzerland. This way you are covered and can better manage your financial situation in case of illness.
4. pre-financing of the salary without additional costs
Another convincing argument is the possibility to receive the salary as a freelancer before the end client has settled the invoice. This prevents financial bottlenecks and gives you the certainty that you will be paid on time, even if payment delays occur with the end client.
5. membership in the industry association swissstaffing and SQS Quality of Processes
Membership of a reputable industry association such as swissstaffing demonstrates commitment and adherence to high quality standards. A reputable payrolling provider should ensure SQS quality of processes to ensure smooth and efficient processing.
6. SECO-approved contracts for the necessary legal protection
A trustworthy payrolling provider should only work with contracts audited by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), which guarantee the necessary legal protection for freelancers. This ensures that you are covered in legal matters and that your rights as an employee are protected.
7. frequent pay runs (payroll run)
The number of pay runs per day or week is another important consideration. The more frequent the pay runs, the faster you will receive your money as a freelancer. Make sure that the payrolling provider has short payroll cycles so that you do not have to wait unnecessarily long for your payment.
