You, as the employer, pay the premium of CHF 100 per insured year. It may not be charged to the employee.

The term of the policy for compulsory accident insurance for your domestic employees is one 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 64 or 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
