We put the right spin on your payroll services
Employment and contract law, social security, cross-border commuting permits, withholding and income tax, salary statements and employee shares probably aren’t things that get your pulse racing. But for us they do.
That’s why we’re happy for you to leave your payroll processing to us. We’ll assist you wherever you’re based: in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, or anywhere else. We can provide individual payroll services or a complete payroll solution, either in the form of traditional outsourcing or on your premises via body leasing. Whether the solution uses middleware, interfaces or web-based access, none of your information is lost, and you can access it anytime and anywhere within the wider field of HR.
Many good reasons for using payroll solutions from PwC
Whatever form our partnership takes, it’ll save you time, effort and nervous wear and tear. That’s because you’ll have an experienced, stable team of payroll experts on your case. They can give you payroll advice, show you how to implement changes to laws and regulations promptly, master the year-end process, and get the most out of the latest technologies. You can rest assured that your payroll accounting tasks are being carried out in full compliance with the law, on time and with the utmost efficiency.
How to present employee participation schemes in salary statements
Do you process all payroll accounting including year-end tasks yourself? Are employee participation schemes going to be a consideration this year – maybe for the first time? You will need to present all participation rights using the relevant supplementary sheet for the employee’s salary statement because they qualify as a salary component. Even if there are only grants in the respective year, an attachment to the salary certificate is required so that the employees can declare them pro memoria (with no taxable impact). Are you pressed for time? Do you need to learn how to fill in the supplementary sheets before you can get started? Why not leave it all to us? That way you can free up head space and time for other year-end tasks.
Reducing workload with payroll outsourcing
Getting payroll right demands a lot. Payroll Outsourcing or staff leasing will allow you to pass this burden on to us. We’ll be happy to take care of all your payroll accounting. We’ll work with the latest software, implement changes in the law correctly and promptly, and perform all your payroll tasks including year-end work. You alone decide whether you want us just to process salaries or handle your entire HR administration as well. The scope of our payroll services can be tailored precisely to your preferences.
Closing risky loopholes with body leasing
Payroll accounting involves sensitive employee data, which some companies prefer to administer and process internally. This becomes problematic if the person responsible resigns or is off sick or on parental leave. By getting one of our payroll specialists on board, you can avoid jeopardising your efficiency or legal compliance when such absences occur. You not only benefit from a rapid and expert solution, but also from the know-how of our payroll team working in the background.
It’s quick and easy to get started
You get in touch with us to discuss your payroll services requirements. We’ll need a few key details such as the number of employees and expatriates, branch offices or employee participation schemes. This initial exchange may take place in person, by phone or by email.
We analyse the status quo and identify how we can best support you with our payroll services. We then send you a tailored quote, which you’re welcome to compare against other payroll service providers.
If you do decide to go with us, simply sign the quote and send it back to us. We’ll agree on a suitable start date.
In preparation for this meeting we’ll send you a list of the necessary documents, such as pension fund regulations, employee data, HR regulations, etc. We’ll also send you a realistic timeline.
Then we get started together, either with a meeting or a conference call (for example if you’re in another country). In this discussion we’ll clarify any queries and formalities. Other people may be involved depending on the scope of your payroll solution.
If you don’t get to know every team member at the kick-off meeting we’ll introduce you to the others at a second meeting.
Payroll services bring a lot of different threads together. As an experienced outsourcing partner, we offer our clients everything from a single source. This minimises the risks and saves money.
