Payroll declaration

The insurance premiums for the entire year are due in advance. So that we can calculate your definitive premium amount for the end of the year, we will need a payroll declaration from you. You will either receive a credit note or an invoice for any difference.

How salaries to be declared are composed

The basis for calculating daily sickness benefits is the AHV salary. Other contractual insurance components defined in the Special Insurance Conditions are also factored into the equation. These can include the inclusion or exclusion of certain salary components.

The basis for calculating the UVG premium is the UVG salary. 

Which salary must be reported if compensation for loss of income is received for short-time working or the coronavirus?

The salary subject to AHV contributions serves as the basis for the payroll declaration. If compensation for loss of income for short-time working or the coronavirus has been received, the salary that would have been received without short-time working must be reported. This means that the full amount of the agreed salary must be reported.
