Payrolling
Network & compliance
New · Payroll outsourcing
−64 %
Payroll accounting in your name. You only approve the payments.
Your own Abacus client, fixed price per payslip. Example with 25 employees: around 64 % cheaper than an in-house position plus fiduciary/accountant.
Three models
With your own licence, without a licence or from abroad – there is a clean model for every starting point.
White label
For Swiss staff leasing providers with their own licence: we take over the entire payroll administration on a dedicated Abacus client – documents, invoices and correspondence in your name. You approve the payment run, nothing more.
Employment via RM
Staff leasing administration is not your core business? We are the legal employer of the temporary staff and the invoicing partner to the end client – your placement is remunerated through us.
International
For foreign staffing service providers: leasing staff from abroad into Switzerland is not permitted. Via RM Payroll as the licensed Swiss staff leasing provider and employer, you can still place your candidates with Swiss clients – compliant with the Recruitment and Staff Leasing Act (AVG) and the CBA.
What we take over in your name
From contract preparation to the annual declaration – you keep control, we do the work.
Employment and assignment contracts under the Staff Leasing CBA (GAV Personalverleih), prepared and digitally signed (QES) – you sign, we manage.
Monthly payroll on your Abacus client including the payment file for your bank – you approve the payment run, we take care of the rest.
AHV/IV/EO (old-age, disability and loss-of-earnings insurance), ALV (unemployment insurance), UVG (accident insurance), KTG (daily sickness benefits) and BVG: registrations and deregistrations, statements, Swissdec-certified salary reporting.
Tariffs, monthly statements with the cantonal tax offices, corrections – for all cantons.
Invoices to your clients from your Abacus client, with your logo – including payment monitoring and dunning.
Minimum wages, holiday and public holiday supplements, enforcement and training contributions – correctly applied and audit-ready.
Salary certificates, annual declarations to the compensation office, SUVA and pension fund, documents for auditors and inspections.
One dedicated contact person for your team – on request also for your employees, in your name.
Your own Abacus client
We set up a dedicated client for you on Abacus, Switzerland's number one business software: your master data, your wage types, your insurance contracts, your logo on payslips and invoices. You have access and full transparency at all times – our specialists work on it like your own payroll department.
Your own Abacus client, your own access rights – your data stays separate from that of other companies.
Every payslip, every invoice, every document can be viewed at any time – by your auditors too.
Time recording, accounting and bank connected via interface; Swissdec ELM for salary reporting.
Timesheets, payslips and documents in the portal – with your logo on request.
Your payroll specialist: L. Rosenberg · online
How we work together
From the first meeting to the year-end closing – with a dedicated payroll specialist at your side.
01
We clarify volume, CBA coverage, cantons, withholding tax and special cases – and quote by volume.
02
Configure master data, wage types, insurance and interfaces, migrate existing employees, add your logo.
03
Hours come in, we run payroll, report and invoice. You approve the payment run – done.
04
Annual declarations, salary certificates and documents for AHV, SUVA or CBA audits – prepared and supported.
International
Staff leasing in Switzerland requires a licence under the Recruitment and Staff Leasing Act (AVG) – and leasing from abroad into Switzerland is not permitted. For international staffing service providers this means: without a Swiss licence, you cannot place your candidates directly with Swiss clients.
The solution: RM Payroll AG is a licensed Swiss staff leasing provider and becomes the employer of your candidates. We conclude the assignment contract with the Swiss client, employ under Swiss law and the Staff Leasing CBA (GAV Personalverleih), take care of permits, notification procedures and withholding tax, and invoice in Swiss francs. The client relationship and your margin stay with you – your placement is remunerated through us.
You have a candidate and a Swiss client, but no Swiss entity? Tell us the person, place of work and start date – within one working day we will tell you how the assignment can run compliantly and what it costs.
Permanent placements instead of contracting? In the SECO partner programme, recruitment agencies keep 90 % of the placement fee.
Platforms & portals
Your candidates work for corporations that manage external specialists through VMS, MSP and procurement portals. RM Payroll is registered in these systems as a licensed leasing company: we report hours, issue invoices and meet supplier compliance requirements, while you keep the client and the margin.
Requests, quotes, time recording, approvals and invoices for external specialists.
Managed service providers that manage the procurement of external specialists on behalf of the company.

Pricing
Indicative
The fee for white-label payrolling depends on the number of employees, payroll total and scope of services. Your individual quote after the first meeting is binding – with no hidden items.
For employment via RM Payroll (‘Employment via RM’ and International models), the standard fee per hour worked applies – see pricing.
Frequently asked questions
You are. As a staff leasing provider with your own licence, you remain the employer and contractual partner of your clients. We run the entire payroll administration in your name on your own Abacus client – you approve the payment run and pay out the salaries. If you do not have your own staff leasing licence or are based abroad, RM Payroll AG is the employer and licensed leasing provider; your placement is remunerated through us.
Not necessarily. Payslips, salary certificates and invoices come from your Abacus client and carry your logo; correspondence with authorities, insurers and clients is conducted in your name. On request, your payroll specialist also looks after your employees directly – as part of your team.
A separate company area on Abacus, Switzerland's number one business software, kept apart from other customers: with your master data, wage types, insurance contracts, cost centres and your logo. You have access to all payslips, invoices and documents at any time – as do your auditors.
Recruitment, sales, client and candidate care, signing the contracts and approving the payment run stay with you. We take over everything around payroll administration: contract preparation, payslips, social insurance, withholding tax, BVG, invoicing with dunning, CBA compliance, salary certificates, annual declarations and support during audits.
Not directly: leasing staff from abroad into Switzerland is not permitted under the Recruitment and Staff Leasing Act, and leasing within Switzerland requires a licence. Via RM Payroll AG as the licensed Swiss leasing provider and employer, you can still place your candidates with Swiss clients: we conclude the assignment contract, employ under Swiss law and the CBA, take care of permits, notification procedures and withholding tax, and invoice in Swiss francs. Client relationship and margin stay with you.
The fee depends on the number of employees, payroll total and scope of services – as a guide, around 2 % of the invoiced amount, depending on volume. The individual quote after the first meeting is binding; it itemises the setup of your Abacus client, ongoing operation and the year-end closing.
In one meeting we clarify volume, model and process – and show you what your Abacus client will look like.
