DACH Payroll, Done Right

We calculate and remit all mandatory contributions:

• Health insurance (Krankenversicherung)
• Pension insurance (Rentenversicherung)
• Unemployment insurance (Arbeitslosenversicherung)
• Nursing care insurance (Pflegeversicherung)
• Accident insurance (Unfallversicherung)

We stay current with annual rate changes and contribution caps.

Austrian law requires two additional monthly salaries: Urlaubsgeld (vacation bonus, typically paid in June) and Weihnachtsgeld (Christmas bonus, typically paid in November).

We handle the timing, tax treatment, and ensure these payments comply with applicable collective agreements (Kollektivvertrag).

Switzerland has 26 cantons, each with different tax rates. For employees subject to Quellensteuer (withholding tax), we calculate the correct rate based on their canton of residence, marital status, and number of children.

We handle the varying calculation methods and ensure timely remittance to cantonal tax authorities.

We pay employees in their local currency:

• EUR for Germany and Austria
• CHF for Switzerland

You fund payroll in USD. We handle currency conversion at competitive rates with full transparency on exchange rates used.

Around the 16th-20th of each month, you receive a payroll summary for review. This includes a breakdown by employee, cost category, and country.

You can approve via email or our portal. Once approved, we execute payments on the 25th (or earlier for Switzerland if month-end falls on a weekend).

You receive comprehensive reporting:

• Monthly cost summaries by employee and country
• Year-to-date reports for budgeting
• Custom exports in CSV or Excel format
• Real-time dashboard access

All reports can be filtered by date range, country, cost center, or department.
