The notice periods are different for each employment model:

Staff leasing: 

•  2 days from 1st to 3rd month
• 7 days from 4th to 6th month
•  1 month from 7th month onwards, to the same day of the following month

These periods are not allowed to be shorter, longer notice periods can be agreed for each contract individually.

• The Employee is entitled to terminate the contract at any time without stating a reason. However, adherence to agreements with the customer is mandatory. However, the Employee must take into account the following information concerning registration with the regional employment centre (RAV).

The periods of notice for termination are:

• two working days during the three-month trial period (reduced as per Art. 335b(2) Code of Obligations (CO)
• 30 days after the trial period (termination can take place during a month, not only at the end of a month)

For the Employees protection, the legislator requires that the one-month period of notice be complied with as per Art. 335(c)(1) and (2) CO. The Employee is requested to bear the periods of notice in mind. As soon as it becomes apparent that no more orders can be fulfilled, the Employee must notify us of this fact so that PayrollPlus or the Employee can give notice as a result of the order ending. The Employee should also draw the customer’s attention to this fact, so that the customer can advise in good time if there is no more work available. Furthermore, the Employee should note that, in the event of registering at the RAV, the wages for the notice period must be claimed from the employer. Since the Employee may no longer be recording any payments received during this period, PayrollPlus cannot pay him the 97%. This payslip for CHF 0 will then be included in the calculation of earnings.

• If the Employee does not submit any invoices for more than one month, the contract is automatically deemed to have ended. However, as soon as the Employee invoices new orders using PayrollPlus, the contract enters into force again. 

• PayrollPlus reserves the right to cancel the contractual relationship immediately and without stating reasons in the following situations:

• False or improper statements made by the Employee
• Misuse of invoicing
• Breach of statutory or CEA provisions concerning working hours and minimum wage
• Fraud and forgery of documents
• Right to additional reasons reserved

PayrollPlus as a PLC has more than CHF 100’000.- turnover per year ans therefore legally has to add 7.7% VAT.

For staff leasing, the VAT law requires us to add 7.7% to the full salary costs and not only to the service fee (Art. 21 para. 2 fig. 12 VAT law).

For the PayrollPlus model Smart, the VAT is only charged on the PayrollPlus service fee.

No, PayrollPlus is not a staff placement company.

Employees working within interim earnings receive the interim earnings statement for the unemployment fund department (RAV) at the till the 5th of every following month. In order to prevent fraud it is not allowed to issue an interims earnings statement during the current month, it may only be issued once the month has ended.

Note for online tool users: Invoices issued with the onlinetool compellingly need to be paid before PayrollPlus may issue the interim earnings statement. For each registered invoice only working hours for the same month of the interim earnings statement may be recognised, working schedules overlapping the month may not be considered. Please make sure that for every month you worked, you issue a separate invoice to the client.

If you have issued your invoice in foreign currency, the interim earnings statement may only be issued after we paid the salary. We are unable to take over the currency risk since your salary is depending on the current exchange rate. If you work within the interim earning, we suggest to always invoice in CHF in order to avoid waiting periods for your unemployment benefit.

The interim earnings statement will show following note:

As payroller we declare the insured persons registered working hours and salary with us. If the employee wishes to recieve the effective payment after the respective payment of the client has been recieved, the issuer of the interm earnings statement (ParollPlus AG) is not liable for any self declared working hours or wages  stated in the interim earnings statement.

The insured person has registered with us all working hours to date. Should working hours be registered after the interim earnings statement has been issued, the full responsibility is with the insured person to declare these with the unemployment department (RAV), neglect is liable to prosecution.

PayrollPlus waives all liability for any incorrect information submitted.
