Comparison

Traditional fiduciary vs. the payrollnow service.

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.

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.
