In Switzerland, an EOR arrangement is staff leasing under the Recruitment and Staff Leasing Act: the provider needs a cantonal licence and must employ your hire through a Swiss entity, because leasing from abroad into Switzerland is prohibited.
The best EOR for Switzerland has its own licensed Swiss entity, is transparent about its BVG pension plan (which often goes well beyond the legal minimum), and quotes Swiss-specific fees.
- 1
A Swiss staff-leasing licence
Ask for the Swiss entity's name and the canton that issued its staff-leasing licence. A provider can't lease your hire into Switzerland from abroad.
- 2
BVG pension plan
Ask for the plan's actual contribution rates and insured salary; the legal minimum is only half of 7–18% of the coordinated salary.
- 3
Insurance and 13th month
Check the accident and daily sickness insurance, which canton's family allowance fund applies, and whether a 13th month is included.
- 4
