payrollnow is your payroll service in Switzerland: we take over the entire operational payroll administration for your SME — registrations, social insurance, withholding tax, claims, communication with authorities and insurers. You review and approve. We handle the rest.
We handle the entire operational payroll workload — from registrations through social insurance to AHV and SUVA audits. You keep control and approve with one click, but never spend another hour on authority correspondence or plausibility checks.
Registrations, EO settlements, authority filings, insurance correspondence, statistics, permits — all taken over. You report, we do.
Our team knows every major collective bargaining agreement — L-GAV hospitality, LMV construction, GAV staffing, hairdressing, painting, carpentry. Industry complexity is no obstacle.
Unlike with a traditional fiduciary, at payrollnow you see every status in real time. Payroll runs, authority filings, claims — all transparent. Approvals in one click.
Your employees automatically get a modern self-service app on top — included in the CHF 25 package. Fewer HR calls for you, instant answers for your team.
payrollnow is part of ESGroup: 16 years of software engineering, more than 5 years with a full focus on payroll. The team running your payroll does nothing else.
On top of the platform, payrollnow takes over the ongoing operational handling of your payroll process — organised into four areas. You review and approve. We handle the rest.
New hires, leavers, tariff changes, workload changes — we coordinate every authority filing without gaps.
EO settlements, daily-benefit cases, family allowance claims incl. seamless status tracking through to completion.
Statistics, certificates, interim-earnings forms — filed on time and filled in correctly.
We accompany AHV and SUVA audits on site or remotely — you don't have to attend in person.
The key difference: you see everything in real time, pay per employee instead of per hour — and your employees resolve their requests themselves in the app.
Every change is processed immediately — no run phase, no correction loop the following month.
Changes only processed at the cut-off date. Corrections arrive weeks later by email.
You see every open step in real time. Status per employee. Approval in one click.
Status only via email enquiry. You wait for answers and hope everything is right.
Transparent, predictable, scales linearly. For teams of 25+ employees.
Every enquiry, change and special case drives the bill up. Hard to budget.
Payslips, vacation, requests, shifts — instant answers without the HR loop.
Employees call HR, write emails, wait for answers.
EO, family allowances, UVG claims, statistics, permits, AHV/SUVA audits — all included.
Claims, statistics, audit support — usually billed extra.
While we do the operational payroll work behind the scenes, your employees experience a modern app with AI chat. They ask, the app answers — you as HR or owner get fewer calls, fewer emails, fewer follow-ups.
The questions we hear most from owners, CFOs and HR leads.
The platform (CHF 12 / employee / month) gives you the tool — you run payroll administration yourself. Payroll outsourcing (CHF 25 / employee / month) includes the platform plus our service team, which takes over the operational payroll work for you. See the platform →
You get a dedicated Swiss mandate lead as your direct contact — no call centre, no rotating case workers. Reachable by phone, email and via the platform.
You report events (new hire, sickness, bonus, leaver) and approve payroll runs and authority filings. We take over every operational step: registrations, calculations, correspondence with authorities and insurers, statistics, permits, audits.
Typically 4 to 8 weeks depending on complexity. Our migration tool imports your data from Bexio, Abacus, SAP, SwissSalary or your ERP. 12 months of back-testing + a parallel run secure the switch. Mehr zur Migration →
A one-time setup of CHF 1'500–5'000 depending on scope (data volume, source systems, custom integrations, number of mandates). You get a binding quote before signing — no effort-based billing afterwards.
Yes. No minimum term, monthly cancellation with a fair notice period. We believe you stay because the service works for you — not because a contract binds you.
We show you the platform, calculate your savings potential and discuss the right service scope for your team.
