Understanding Payroll Outsourcing in Switzerland

The term payrolling refers to a practice where a company outsources payroll management and sometimes other employment-related aspects (such as benefits, taxes, etc.) to a third-party agency. This agency technically becomes the official employer. This solution is based on a tripartite relationship between:

• The employee
• The payrolling company
• The client company

In practice, the employee signs an employment contract with the payrolling agency. The agency then signs a commercial contract with the client company. As a result, the employee becomes an official employee for the duration of the assignment.

According to the Swiss Federal Labor Institutions, only self-employed workers who have a relationship of subordination to an employer or who are integrated into the organization of a company can be recognized as employees of a payrolling company. Otherwise, they will be considered as self-employed by the compensation funds.
