Swiss payroll services & outsourcing

Outsource your Swiss payroll with a clear process for salaries, withholding tax and social insurance administration. excent supports the full payroll cycle or selected tasks, with agreed responsibilities and approvals.

What does our Swiss payroll service include?

Reliable payroll starts with current employee data, clear responsibilities and agreed checks. We define which tasks excent handles and which information your company provides.

  • Maintaining payroll master data and processing employee changes
  • Preparing the agreed payslips and payroll accounting information
  • Withholding tax statements within the agreed scope
  • Support with social insurance reporting and annual salary certificates
  • Coordination with your HR administration and finance team

A payroll setup that fits your organisation

For SMEs, outsourced payroll can free up internal capacity and support continuity during absences. Larger organisations can delegate selected tasks while retaining an internal HR and finance team. The right scope depends on your current process and the responsibilities you want to transfer.

Whether your HR team is local or part of an international group, we clarify Swiss payroll processing, reporting requirements and the handover to your internal contacts. We work with you in English or German.

How the monthly payroll process works

  1. Provide the data: your team submits starters, leavers and payroll changes by the agreed deadline.
  2. Process and check: excent prepares payroll and resolves open questions with your designated contact.
  3. Approve: the responsible people in your company review and approve the prepared results.
  4. Complete the run: the agreed reports and documents are made available for the next steps.

Start with a well-planned handover

Before the first pay run, we review your employee data, previous reports and system interfaces together. For a transition during the year, prior payroll results and year-to-date balances also matter. We agree responsibilities, outstanding tasks and the first payroll date before regular processing begins.

What does payroll outsourcing cost?

Use our payroll calculator for an instant, non-binding estimate. Choose your employee headcount, the Bronze, Silver or Gold package and the number of payroll runs per month. You can compare the included services and see the monthly total immediately.

A useful quote considers more than headcount. Starters and leavers, variable pay, withholding tax cases, existing systems and additional services all influence the work required.

We distinguish regular processing, one-off transition work and additional support so that you can compare equivalent scopes. Explore the cost factors.
