Practical example
Joe and Michelle Smith want to spend all their free time with their children. That’s why they have decided to hire Ms. Miller, a cleaner. Unfortunately, Ms. Miller falls while cleaning the windows and breaks her arm. Fortunately, the Smith family has taken out compulsory accident insurance for Ms. Miller. Thanks to this insurance, Generali covers all medical costs and the cost of her hospital stay. Ms. Miller also receives a daily allowance, which pays her 80% of her salary during her recovery, allowing her peace of mind until she can return to work.
Be a responsible employer: Make sure your valuable domestic employees are properly insured.
The law makes all domestic employees subject to compulsory accident insurance concluded by their employer. The following conditions must be met in order for you to take out this insurance:
The employees in question work in your private household.
The persons in employment do not work more than eight hours a week in your household.
The yearly salary is no more than CHF 10,000 for all employees.
You can insure all employees employed in your private household that do not work more than eight hours a week. For example:
Cleaners
Childcare providers
Gardeners
The beginning and end of insurance cover are clearly regulated: Your employees are fully protected from the moment they start on their direct way to work to when they arrive on their direct way home.
You, as the employer, pay the premium of CHF 100 per insured year. The law does not allow you to pass this cost on to your employees.
The policy lasts for one full year. At the end of one year, the contract is automatically renewed for another year. You can terminate the policy three months before it is due to expire. The policy may also be cancelled if the employment relationship is terminated.
As a rule, social insurance contributions must be paid for all employees. However, as an employer, you can benefit from a simplified billing procedure if your domestic employees do not earn more than CHF 20,880 per year. In this case, you pay the social insurance contributions only once a year instead of every month, saving you administrative work.
As a rule, social insurance contributions must be paid for every employee. If your employee meets the following requirements, you can benefit from the simplified billing procedure and you pay the amounts only once a year:
Domiciled in Switzerland and holds a valid work permit
Between 17 and 65 years of age
Maximum annual salary of CHF 20,880
In order to benefit from the simplified billing procedure as an employer, you essentially need to register for it only once. You’ll then benefit from reduced administrative work because you’ll need to settle your contributions only once a year. How to use the simplified billing procedure:
Fill out the registration form for the simplified billing procedure and send it to your compensation office
Deduct the social insurance contributions from your employee’s salary each month
At the end of the year, settle the entire amount with the compensation office
