The quitt.service consists of the following services, which are put together individually according to your needs. Based on your information, we know which components are relevant for your employment relationships. 

Registration with all the authorities involved: 

quitt registers all employers and employees with the responsible compensation fund and, if relevant, also with the responsible tax authority and our pension fund.

Take-out of compulsory accident insurance:

quitt takes out compulsory accident insurance for occupational accidents for all employers. For employment relationships with 8 or more hours of work a week, non-occupational accident insurance is also taken out. 

Legally correct employment contract:

Based on your contract data, quitt draws up an individual employment contract for your employment relationships, which you can download as a PDF file.  

Monthly pay slips and annual wage statement: 

In your personal client account you can download monthly pay slips and annual wage statements for each individual employment relationship. These documents are created automatically based on the data you have entered. 

Accounting for all social security contributions, taxes and insurance premiums:

quitt declares all gross wages per calendar year for each employer to the cantonal compensation offices, to the insurance partners and, if relevant, to the cantonal tax authorities and the pension fund. Next, quitt pays all relevant invoices of these institutions and clarifies potential deviations. 

Personal customer support and practical templates: 

If you have any questions or need clarification, our customer support team will be happy to assist you by e-mail or over the phone during office hours. Your personal client account also contains practical templates for termination letters, job references or key receipts. 

Compensation office: 

If you employ domestic employees, as a private employer you are bound to settle social security contributions with the Cantonal compensation office. quitt. registers you as an employer and your employees automatically with this authority at the start of the employment contract. Based on your information, quitt. decides whether the registration in the simplified or ordinary procedure is required and records the corresponding contribution rates for your pay slips in your personal client account. 

Tax authority: 

The income of foreign employees is subject to withholding tax. Based on a few questions about the employee’s person, quitt. determines whether your domestic employee is liable to withholding tax. If this is the case, quitt. registers your domestic help automatically with the relevant Cantonal tax authority, forwards all necessary information on your employee’s income and living situation to this authority and records the applicable withholding tax rate in your personal client account.

Pension Fund: 

For employment relationships with a gross salary of more than CHF 1’792.50 per month or CHF 21’510 per year, employers are bound to register their employees with a pension fund for pension provision (BVG/2nd pillar). 

quitt. works with the pension fund PK-AETAS for this purpose. If the salary is above the BVG entry threshold, quitt. will register your employees automatically with the pension fund and record the contributions to be paid for payroll accounting in your client account. 

quitt. handles correspondence and communication with the above-mentioned authorities and bodies on your behalf. This also includes the annual declaration of all gross wages billed and the subsequent payment of the contributions, taxes and premiums billed.  

Based on your individual details, quitt. provides you with a correct payroll accounting and an overview of employer costs in your client account for each employment. 

The following mandatory social contributions are calculated on the basis of the gross salary: 

• Old-age and survivors’ insurance (AHV) 
• Disability insurance (IV), 
• Compensation system for loss of earned income during military service, civil service, community service or maternity (EO)  
• Unemployment insurance (ALV)
• Family equalization fund (FAK) 
• Accident insurance (UVG) 

If your employees are subject to withholding tax, the applicable rate is recorded for payroll accounting.
The withholding tax rate is determined by the Cantonal tax office and depends on the employment and living situation of the employees.  

If your employees are registered with the pension fund by quitt., the corresponding contributions are also recorded in payroll accounting. The BVG contributions are determined on the basis of gross salary, age and workload and are paid in equal parts by employer and employee. 

For your employees, quitt. always takes out compulsory occupational accident insurance and, if your employee work more than 8 hours a week, non-occupational accident insurance. You also have the option of covering your risks as an employer individually with complementary insurance. Depending on your insurance selection, the relevant additional premiums will be reflected in your payroll accounting. 

The wage statement certifies the employee’s agreed gross salary, all wage deductions, withholding taxes paid,
net salary disbursed and any out-of-pocket expenses that may have been paid. This document is available to you
as an employer as a download in your client area for distribution to your employees and must be attached to the employees’ annual tax return. 

All deductions and contributions will always be up-to-date, since quitt. automatically adjusts all tariffs and contribution rates of all social insurances, tax offices and insurance companies in all Cantons on an annual basis. 

For employment relationships with a gross salary that exceeds CHF 1’792.50 per month or CHF 21’510 per year, employers are required to register their employees with a pension fund for occupational pension provision (BVG/2nd pillar). 

To connect your domestic help to occupational pension provision, quitt. collaborates with the pension fund PK-AETAS. quitt. registers your employee with this pension fund and thus starts saving a credit balance in the 2nd pillar. The amount of the contributions depends on the gross salary, age and degree of employment and is paid in equal instalments of 50% by the employer and 50% by the employee. 

If the salary exceeds the BVG threshold mentioned above, quitt. automatically registers your employee with the pension fund. You as an employer benefit from not having to spend time searching for a suitable pension fund,
joining it, registering your employees and regularly paying off your bills. quitt. takes care of all communication and administration with the pension fund for you. 

In general, quitt. receives and handles all correspondence between you and the authorities that arises in connection with your employment. Should you nevertheless receive direct correspondence from the authorities, please forward it to us either by post (ServiceHunter AG, Birmensdorferstr. 94, 8003 Zurich) or by e-mail. 

Please contact our support for the family allowance application. Our experts will be happy to assist you in completing the necessary forms. After successful acceptance of the application by the compensation fund, the payment of the allowances will be included in the corresponding pay slips of your employees and taken into account in the year-end declaration. You can find additional information on family allowances in the Employer ABC. 

The quitt.Service will automatically extended for another year from the 1st January of the following year if an active employment relationship exists in your my.quitt.account on the 31st December of the previous year and the quitt.Service was not terminated at the end of this year. The same applies to all selected complementary insurances. The quitt.Service can be terminated at any time up to the 31st December of the current year in your my.quitt.account under “My subscription”. 

There are three different rates for the quitt.service to choose from: 

Start:  

Maximum flexibility with a CHF 0 service fee and a commission of 8% of the gross salary with a minimum of CHF 29 and a maximum of CHF 129 per billed month. No minimum duration, no notice periods – you only pay when you use the quitt.service, i.e. if you enter the hours worked by your employees in the personal client area and pay slips are created. If you do not employ any employees in one month and do not need any pay slips, you will not be charged at all. The commission of 8% and the insurance premiums are charged to you when the pay slips are created.
Please note that insurance coverage for your employees is only provided in the months in which work is billed.  

quitt recommends this rate if you are joining the quitt.service in the middle of the year or for short-term employment.  

Comfort:

With this annual subscription, you pay a one-off service fee of CHF 120 per calendar year and a commission of 5% of the gross salary.

Please note that the UVG insurance coverage is provided as long as your open-ended employment contracts are recorded in your my.quitt.account. Insurance premiums for the other insurances will only be charged in the months in which the work performed by your employees is billed.

Uncertain which rate best suits your employment relationship? We calculate the best rate for you here.

No, this is not possible. quitt. takes out accident insurance for each employer with Baloise Insurance and calculates the corresponding insurance premiums during the monthly payroll accounting. If the premiums change, they will automatically be adjusted by quitt. quitt. also supports employers in the event of damage and ensures that insurance benefits are paid out correctly. This service is only possible in cooperation with Baloise Insurance.
It is mandatory to take out UVG insurance via quitt. in order to use the quitt.Service. 

No, each customer can have only one effective tariff for the given calendar year. This constraint is due to ambiguity of commission calculation in cases when same month salary is processed at various times when different tariff plans are effective. Therefore, tariff changes are possible at the end of each year, when subscription is renewed. Selection of the different tariff for the next year can be done anytime during the current year in “My Subscription” page within my.quitt.ch. We recommend our customers to set the settings for a tariff change before December 15 of the current year. In exceptional cases when new customers have just signed up for our services and have no bills (salary) processed in the effective year, tariff corrections are possible by contacting our support department at [email protected].

If you made a mistake and selected wrong tariff or wrong insurance subscriptions during the sign up, please contact our support department at [email protected] as quick as possible to fix the appropriate tariffs and subscription(s) package(s). Tariff corrections are possible if no bill (salary) has been processed yet.

The my.quitt.account is your personal client account at quitt. Upon successful registration, you will automatically be forwarded to your my.quitt.account and can get started immediately. You can manage your employment relationships in your client area:  

• Enter your employees 
• Draw up employment contracts 
• Record hours worked 
• Download monthly pay slips, annual wage statements, cost overviews and insurance policies 
• Customise your personal account settings 

Your my.quitt.account functions like a prepaid account that you can top up by bank transfer using online banking or an inpayment slip. Your payments on account to the my.quitt.account are used to pay the quitt.Service fees as well as all social security contributions, withholding taxes and insurance premiums. On request, quitt. will also pay your employees their wages from this account.  

You can top up your my.quitt.account by bank transfer in your bank’s online banking system using the details on the orange inpayment slip or at the bank counter using the physical orange inpayment slip. You will find the information about your payments on account and your personal reference number in your my.quitt.account under the heading “Payments”. You can also order physical inpayment slips there.

You can use the my.quitt.account without recharging it if you pay the monthly wages to your employees yourself.
With every payroll run, however, social security contributions, insurance premiums, withholding tax or quitt.Service commissions payable are charged to your my.quitt.account. Your account will then have a negative balance, which will be displayed on the welcome page in your my.quitt.account. quitt. will regularly remind you that you have to top up your my.quitt.account, but will not block any functions if you do not comply with this request. However, you must have settled your my.quitt.account by no later than the 10th January of the following year.
If this is not the case, quitt. will automatically delete all recorded hours worked for the relevant without further consultation with you, cancel all registrations with authorities and insurance companies and make no
declarations for you. 

From the 10th January, quitt. will carry out the year-end declaration of all salaries of the previous year on your behalf with all competent authorities. You can therefore no longer enter any data for the previous year after this date. Exceptions are unfortunately not possible. If you have forgotten to record any hours worked for the previous year, we ask you to record them in the new year. 

When you terminate the quitt.service, all open work performed in the current year is declared to the social security institutions, tax offices and insurances. As soon as this process is completed, you can transfer back any excess payments on account on your my.quitt.account to your private bank or Post account.

All employees in Switzerland must be insured by their employer against occupational accidents (BU).
Insurance against non-occupational accidents (NBU) is also compulsory for employees who work 8 hours
or more per week. The employer pays the contributions to the BU insurance, while the contributions to the
NBU are deducted from the employee’s wage statement. 

quitt takes out these compulsory BU and NBU insurance policies for all your employees on your behalf with Baloise Insurance. From the third day after the day of an accident, this insurance pays a daily allowance of 80% of the gross salary. In the event of a damage, quitt. takes care of notifying the damage, communicating with the insurance partner and disbursing possible daily allowances. You and your employees are obliged to inform us immediately should an accident occur.  

The insurance premium of the BU is currently 0.5% of the billed gross salary, but at least CHF 8.35 per month and for the NBU CHF 1.6% of the billed gross salary, but at least CHF 8.35 per month. quitt automatically charges the premiums upon the monthly payroll run. 

No, this is not possible. quitt takes out accident insurance with Baloise Insurance for every employer and calculates the corresponding insurance premiums as part of the monthly payroll accounting. If the premiums change, quitt automatically adjusts them. quitt also supports employers in the event of damage and ensures that insurance benefits are paid out correctly. This service is only possible in cooperation with Baloise Insurance. It is therefore mandatory to take out UVG insurance via quitt. in order to use the quitt.service. 

In contrast to accident insurance, taking out sick pay insurance is voluntary. As an employer, you are legally bound to continue to pay your employees’ wages if they fall ill. 

The sick pay insurance assumes your obligation to continue to pay wages and protects your employee against loss of wages in the event of illness. If this happens, allowances amounting to 80% of the gross salary will then be paid for a maximum of 2 years after a waiting period of 30 days. On request, this insurance can be taken out for you with Baloise Insurance. The contributions to the KTG insurance are paid 50% each by the employer and the employee. quitt. automatically calculates the premiums as upon the monthly payroll accounting.  

What does this insurance cost? 

• Annual service fee of CHF 49.00 per employer, due on take-out 
• Plus insurance premium of 2.0% of the billed gross salary 

You can select this complementary insurance upon registration or add it to your my.quitt.account at any time.   

As a rule, damage to your household during work is excluded from your employees’ private liability insurance.
Our insurance closes this gap. 

The household insurance covers damage caused to movable property in your household. The costs of repair or replacement up to a maximum of CHF 3’000, but no more than the reinstatement value, are reimbursed per loss event. The participation per loss event is CHF 50. quitt. This insurance can be taken out on your behalf with Baloise Insurance. Contributions are paid by the employer and are automatically charged upon the monthly payroll accounting. 

What does this insurance cost? 

• Annual service fee of CHF 19.00 per employer, due on take-out 
• Plus insurance premium of 0.9% of the billed gross salary 

You can select this complementary insurance upon registration or add it to your my.quitt.account at any time.   

In general, legal disputes involving you as a private employer are not covered by private legal defence insurance.
Our insurance covers this gap and protects you comprehensively against labour disputes with your employees. 

Legal defence insurance covers lawyer and court costs of up to CHF 100’000 per case. There is no minimal value of claim, no participation and no waiting periods. On your request, quitt. will take out this insurance with Assista for each employer. 

What does this insurance cost? 

• Annual service fee of CHF 35.00 per employer, due on take-out 
• Plus a service premium of 0.6% of the billed gross salary 

You can select this complementary insurance upon registration or add it to your my.quitt.account at any time.   

The service fee is payable once a year, either upon conclusion of a quitt.Service contract or in the case of automatic contract renewal on the 1st January of a year. The service fee covers the following services provided by quitt.:

Take–out of the desired insurance policy with the insurance partner, application of the correct insurance premiums to your pay slips, settlement of the premiums and taking care of claims management in the event of a claim. 

The insurance premiums are determined by the insurance partner and compensate for the underlying insurance benefits. The premiums are reviewed annually and updated if necessary. quitt passes these premiums 1:1 on to the end customer without charging any further margins on them.  

If a damage with your employee occurs, please contact quitt immediately by e-mail to our customer service. quitt first clarifies the circumstances of the damage, explains the further process to you and will send you the necessary forms for the damage report. 

Please note that a claim for illness must be filed with the insurance after the 30-day waiting period at the latest. We, therefore, kindly ask you to contact us in a timely manner. If we fail to adhere to the deadline, the insurance has the right to cut or even refuse the payment of daily allowances.

The UVG insurance coverage exists as long as open-ended employment relationships are recorded in your my.quitt.account and therefore corresponding insurance premiums are charged – regardless of whether wages
are settled in one month or not. 

Insurance premiums for the other insurance policies are only charged in the months in which the work performed by your employees is settled. In the case of sick pay insurance and household insurance, claims can only be submitted for periods during which work has been billed. Legal defence insurance is valid without interruption for the whole calendar year. 

The insurance coverage of all insurance policies begins with the start date of the first employment contract recorded. If the start date of the first employment contract is in the past, the insurance coverage starts with the date of registration for the service. Please note that there is no retrospective insurance coverage.  

If an employee is insured against accidents and has several employers and he or her

• suffers an occupational accident, the employer’s accident insurance must provide benefits in whose service the insured person suffered the accident (Art. 99 para. 1 UVV).
• If the insured person suffers a non-occupational accident, the insurance of the employer with whom the insured person last worked before the accident must provide benefits (see: Art. 99 Para. 2 UVV).

If it is unclear which accident insurance must pay, the insurance of the employer with whom the highest salary is insured must provide benefits (see: Art. 99 Para. 3 UVV).
