Thx a lot bro for this information !

Some would be lucky to get 18 CHF an hour!

I recently switched to batmaid.ch. They charge a bit more to have someone clean your home legally - paying for unemployment and accident insurance. The website is super easy and the times are flexible.

What a joke. They still use the word " putzfrauen ". That says enough!

What is it that makes you so often respond to such old stuff?

(And are you an envious wannabe putzman?)

What old stuff? You got nothing else to do but complain?

A quick question
do we as an employer need to create a Lohnausweis at the end of the year for the domestic help?

I do. It depends on how you manage it. I use Quitt, mostly for the insurance, but figure all the taxes and stuff myself. The SVA sends me a form to fill out, and I send it back, and they send me a bill for taxes.

I prefer doing it myself because I have a reliable employee and I don’t have to pay for admin I can do myself.

How many hours per week do you employ your helper?

If the salary is below a certain threshhold, you can use the simplified procesure to file the social security payments + 5% source tax.

You then get a bill to pay what’s due and your employee gets a salary certificate and a breakdown of what was paid from the social security office in your Kanton.

You can refer to my previous post on this thread for more info on the simplified procesure in Kanton Zug. No doubt a similar procedure is possible in your Kanton of residence (relevent is the employer’s Kanton of residence).

We have been using fairness at Work and are very happy, they commit to fair wages and good working conditions which means that they have low turnover and committed staff.

Thank you, it is a great post to start with

Here is the website for Zurich that states the steps to do this. https://www.svazurich.ch/internet/de...gestellte.html

and here is a link to the tax declaration at the end of the year.

For anyone needing a Basel-based cleaner who is self-employed and 100% legal (does her own paperwork and provides you all the paperwork and explanations to fulfill your legal obligations), I can make a great recommendation. Just PM me. (She also cleans really well!).

Hi there,
it’s very easy as we had a private one.
You have to pay the Unfallversicherung yourself for her, it’s a yearly payment based on her salary.
Then you have to pay her the Pensionkasse SVA.
You can do that online. Easy

Same here. They do all the admin so I to worry about the paperwork.

OK. Has anyone done this for Basel-Land? I've always done cleaning myself as the admin headache meant that I probably spend as much time on admin as saved cleaning.

Now with 2 kids rampaging, I probably need a minimum of 4 hours a week on cleaning and so need to figure it out. Anyone know of any specific local regulations for Basel-Land?

Thanks to the OP, I also got this template:

A solution for Neuchâtel, very straight forward.

I don't think there are any cantonal regulations as cleaning is regulated by a GAV, GesamtArbeitsVertrag. AFAIK minimim hourly salary is 19.20 since 2020. If you want to be sure you could contact one of the unions, Unia for example. WRT to the authorities, you may already know about the simplified procedure for employers.

But why take the hassle of doing all the backoffice stuff yourself when services like quitt.ch are available? I have no experience with them, but it looks like you get full transparency, and you can always talk to the cleaner her/himself to check and AFAIK they've been around for quite some time. Here as well, the unions should be able to tell who's shady for you to avoid the chaff.

Anyone has experience with quitt.ch? They quote 120fr + 5% gross salary. Is it all or any additional costs? How simple is it, how much paperwork is needed?

I am looking to have someone for 4-5 hours a week and want to sort out the administrative part.


Also if I'd go directly with SAV and fill-in this form https://www.ahv-iv.ch/p/2.07.d

until when should one do it? Can it be filled in backwards. E.g. send it in november with start date in october?
