What is the difference between an employer of record and an umbrella company in Switzerland?

An employer of record in Switzerland employs full-time staff directly on behalf of your company, while an umbrella company is designed for independent contractors who want to invoice clients while keeping employee protections. Numeriq offers both EOR and umbrella services depending on your workforce structure.

How do I choose the right employer of record in Switzerland?

When comparing EOR providers in Switzerland, look at their local compliance expertise, their ability to manage social insurance and pension contributions, and how quickly they support your hiring process. Numeriq's team manages Swiss employment directly, without relying on third-party partners.

What are the statutory obligations of an employer of record in Switzerland?

An EOR in Switzerland takes on the responsibilities of a Swiss employer, including drafting compliant employment contracts, withholding taxes, and managing mandatory social insurance and pension contributions (AHV/IV/EO, BVG). Numeriq ensures every new hiring meets these requirements from day one.

How much does an employer of record cost in Switzerland?

An EOR cost in Switzerland has two separate parts: Numeriq's service fee, and the statutory employer contributions required by Swiss law, which typically add 12 to 21% on top of gross salary no matter which provider you use. Numeriq keeps these two costs clearly separate, so you always know what you're paying us versus what's mandatory.
