What we take care of

Everything an employer has to do. Except manage.

Legal employer

Employment contract, payroll accounting, salary certificate, departure – we bear the employer obligations and the risk.

Social insurance and pension provision

AHV/IV/EO (old-age, disability and loss-of-earnings insurance), ALV (unemployment insurance), UVG (accident insurance), KTG (daily sickness benefits) and BVG (occupational pension) – registered, accounted for and reported in Swissdec-compliant form.

One invoice per month

Instead of thirty payslips, you receive one consolidated invoice with cost centres – as a PDF and as a data record.

ISO-certified processes

ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015 by SQS, Staff Leasing CBA (GAV Personalverleih), UN Global Compact – compliance your procurement accepts.

Start in 24 hours, transparent costs

Sign the assignment contract digitally, specialist on assignment the next day. Total costs including fee known in advance – no subsequent charges.

Abroad too

Your specialist lives in Spain or Poland? Through our local partner companies, we employ them in a locally compliant way – nearshoring without your own company.

International · Nearshoring

Your specialist is based in Spain? No problem.

Through our network of partner companies abroad, we employ your specialists where they live – compliant with local employment law, social insurance and taxes. You work with a contractual partner in Zurich and receive an invoice in Swiss francs.

  • No own company abroad – no registration, no local payroll accounting, no permanent establishment risk.
  • Employed in a locally compliant way – employment contract, social security contributions and withholding tax under the law of the country of residence.
  • One contact, one invoice – Swiss and foreign external staff on the same consolidated invoice, with cost centres.
  • Nearshoring without detours – build teams in Europe without secondment, freelancer risk or relocation.

Platforms & portals

Registered wherever your procurement needs us.

Large companies manage external specialists through a VMS, an MSP programme and their procurement portal. RM Payroll is set up as a supplier in the common systems: requests, timesheets, approvals and invoices run through your existing process, with no new onboarding.

Vendor management systems (VMS)6

Requests, quotes, time recording, approvals and invoices for external specialists.

MSP programmes8

Managed service providers that manage the procurement of external specialists on behalf of the company.

Procurement and supplier portals10

Source-to-pay suites and supplier portals through which companies set up suppliers, place orders and approve invoices.

E-invoicing and invoicing networks12

Networks through which consolidated invoices reach your accounts payable electronically.

Supplier qualification and compliance5

Registers and ratings that procurement departments use to vet their suppliers.

Your system missing? We usually complete supplier onboarding in a new VMS or procurement portal within a few working days, including compliance documents (SECO licence, insurance certificates, ISO certificates).

Interfaces to HR and time-recording systems such as SAP SuccessFactors, Workday and Personio: see Integration.

New · Payroll outsourcing

You remain the employer. We run the payroll accounting.

Not every specialist should be employed through us. For your permanent employees, we run the complete payroll administration in your name, on your own Abacus client that belongs to you. You report changes and approve the payments once a month. Fixed price per payslip, Abacus licence included: cheaper than an in-house position plus fiduciary/accountant.
