When and how do I receive interim earnings (ZV)?

Employees who are working under the interim income program always receive their interim income certificate (ZV) for the unemployment insurance fund by the 5th of the following month. To prevent fraud, we cannot issue interim income certificates during the current month; you must wait until the end of the month!

Note for online tool users: Invoices from customers created via the online tool must be paid in full before we can issue an interim earnings statement. For each invoice sent, only working hours for a single month may be reported; time tracking that spans multiple months is not permitted in the interim earnings report.

If you have agreed with your client to use a foreign currency, we may not issue you the interim earnings statement until we have paid your wages. We cannot assume the currency risk, and your wages will be adjusted according to the current exchange rate.

If you are working under the interim earnings program, we recommend that you agree to be paid in CHF. This way, you will always receive the required certificate at the beginning of the following month.

The following note appears on the interim earnings form:

As a payroll company, we report the hours worked and wages reported by the insured person. If, at the employee’s request, actual payment is made only after receipt of the corresponding payments from the client, the insured person may not assert any legal claims against the issuer of this certificate (payroll+ AG) based on the self-reported hours worked or wages.

As of today, the insured person has reported to us all hours worked during the previous month. If hours are subsequently reported for months that have already been processed, the insured person is personally responsible for reporting these hours to the unemployment insurance fund as well; otherwise, the insured person may be subject to penalties.

payroll+ AG disclaims all liability for incomplete data and information.
