Switch to payrollnow

You see every step.
We check every figure.

Our self-service onboarding tool walks you through every step of the switch — from importing data out of your current system through back-testing the last 12 months to the parallel run. You drive, we check. We only go live once you sign the acceptance protocol.

Six things that make the difference

Switch without risk.

The features that make a serious switch — and that the industry often skips.

Mid-year migration

No waiting for 1 January. We take over mid-year — including correct OASI contributions and withholding-tax statuses.

Star feature

12-month back-testing

We replay your last 12 monthly pay runs in payrollnow and compare the results with your current system. Differences get resolved — before go-live.

Year-to-date retro postings

Switching in May? We post January to April retroactively so that wage statements and social-security filings stay consistent at year-end.

Star feature

Parallel run available

We process real payroll runs in parallel with your old provider. Both sides produce results, both get compared. We go live when the figures match — and not before.

Full data traceability

Every imported figure traces back to the source system. In audits, payroll reviews or social-security inspections you know exactly where each value comes from.

Star feature

Sign-off protocol

You only sign once everything checks out. The sign-off protocol formally documents that every validation is right — before we go live. No black-box switch.

Switch process

Six phases to a clean switch.

Structured, documented, verifiable — from discovery to go-live. You're involved at every phase.

1

Discovery

We look at your stack — source system, collective agreement, edge cases, interfaces.

2

Data import

Onboarding tool pulls master and transaction data from your current system.

3

Back-testing

Last 12 monthly pay runs replayed and compared with your current system.

4

Validation

You review, correct and approve. Every record shown with status.

5

Parallel run

Real payroll runs alongside the old provider — we compare every figure.

6

Sign-off & go-live

Sign-off protocol signed — we go live. Your old provider goes into retirement.

Onboarding tool · preview

Every figure. Every status. Visible.

The onboarding tool shows your data section by section, field by field. Real-time validation, errors flagged, sync status per record. You always know where you stand.

You drive. Instead of just hoping.

Classic outsourcing takes the control away from you and promises "we'll handle it". At payrollnow it's the other way around: you see every step — and drive the switch yourself.

Classic outsourcing

"We'll handle it."

  • White-glove approach — little visibility into the process
  • No back-testing — differences only surface after go-live
  • No parallel run — big-bang switch with the risk that comes with it
  • No formal sign-off protocol
  • Traceability only on request, not systematic
  • You wait for confirmations by email

In six phases: discovery, data import via the onboarding tool, back-testing the last 12 months, validation, parallel run alongside your current system, sign-off and go-live.

You see every step and drive the switch — we check and only go live once you sign.

No. A mid-year migration is possible. We take over the current state, post the year-to-date and make sure that wage statements, OASI filings and statistics stay consistent at year-end.

We replay your payroll runs from the last 12 months in payrollnow and compare them with the results from your current system. Differences get investigated and resolved — before we go live.

We process your real payroll runs in parallel with your current provider — both sides produce results, both get compared. Your employees notice nothing of the switch. Only once the figures match do we take over the live run.

We import from Abacus, SAP, SwissSalary, Bexio Lohn or your current system straight through the onboarding tool. Master and transaction data, wage types, social-security statuses and withholding-tax tariffs are migrated in full — and remain traceable.

You drive, we check. The onboarding tool shows you every validation, every error, every open item. We handle the technical steps and support edge cases. You always see what's happening — and decide whether it's right.

One-off setup CHF 1,500–5,000 depending on scope. Includes: data import, back-testing, parallel run and sign-off. Custom integrations (e.g. specific collective agreements or custom ERPs) are scoped separately.
