What’s included

From the personnel record to the salary certificate. The statutory rates are built in; whatever the compensation office and insurers require, you enter once.

  • EmployeesMaster data with AHV number (check digit verified), workload (%), monthly or hourly wage, 13th-month salary, child allowances, BVG amounts from the pension plan, withholding tax rate.
  • The payroll runOne month, everyone: enter hours, bonus, expenses and deductions, calculate, every payslip as a PDF. AHV/IV/EO 5.3 %, ALV 1.1 % up to CHF 148'200, UVG, KTG, BVG, withholding tax — the statutory rates are built in; whatever the compensation office and insurers require, you enter once.
  • Posted, not retypedOne click posts the run: salary expense and employer contributions, social insurance contributions owed, withholding tax, net wages. For the bank there is a payment file (pain.001, confidential as a salary payment) to upload to your e-banking – including for cross-border commuters with an account abroad; you book the payout at the push of a button or via the bank statement. Undoing works via reversal — entries are never deleted.
  • Year-endSalary certificate per person laid out like the official Form 11, AHV salary statement for the compensation office, payroll journal as PDF and CSV.
  • Payroll reporting preparedBuchify checks the company, the insurances and every person against what payroll reporting under ELM 6.0 requires, and outputs the annual report as a preview draft. It will only be transmitted once Buchify is Swissdec-certified.
  • Employees with their own accessAnyone who wants to records their hours and submits the month – you approve, and with an hourly wage they count in the payroll run. Each person sees their own payslips and, as soon as you release it, their salary certificate – in the browser or in the Buchify app. Nothing else from the company.
  • Expenses for the salary certificateApproved expenses are ready per person by sections 13.1.1 and 13.1.2 – whether the amounts or a cross go on the salary certificate depends on your expense regulations. The expense claims themselves are included in the annual price, even without the add-on. More →
  • What stays where it belongsSalaries are only visible to owners and fiduciaries — employees with their own access see only their own, never their colleagues’. If you end the add-on, all payslips remain readable for ten years.

Questions about payroll

What does payroll cost?

It’s an add-on, priced by the number of payslips in a month: 1 employee CHF 10.– · up to 5 CHF 25.– · up to 10 CHF 45.– · up to 25 CHF 90.– per month, billed for a whole year. You can move up at any time (today you only pay the difference until the end of your year); moving down takes effect from the renewal.

Does Buchify report salaries to the AHV and insurers (ELM)?

Not electronically yet. Buchify checks the data against ELM 6.0 and outputs the annual report as a preview draft; only a Swissdec-certified program may transmit it. Until then, the AHV salary statement, the withholding tax statement and the salary certificate go out as PDFs.
