Salaries in Switzerland are generally based on a 13th-month pay structure.
It is not mandatory for employers to pay Swiss workers a 13th month’s pay as part of their salary package, however, it is typically considered customary though.
The 13th month’s pay is equivalent to an employees’ one month’s salary amount.
The 13th month’s pay is paid in December or broken up into two instalment payments in July and December. It is up to the employer how they want to pay the 13th month’s pay.
The 13th month’s pay is not considered an extra payment in Switzerland or as a bonus.
The 13th-month salary payment is taxed as part of the employee’s total salary.
Your business can easily hire employees in Switzerland without opening a local entity. We handle local employment law, complex tax regulations, and international payroll in 180+ countries worldwide. All you need to do is focus on your business.
The 13th month’s pay is considered a customary payment by employers in Switzerland, rather than mandatory.
Some employers may offer an employee a 14th monthly payment as part of a salary package to attract the best talent.
