Reporting in SwissSalary

The salary types below are intended for this purpose

Resulting salary types setup

The ‘0.20’ factor must be enabled for the number from Monday to Sunday for both resulting salary types 8890 (HW) and 1180 (MW), and the ‘current record’ limit must be entered for the calculation.

By default, the corresponding salary types are reported in hours.

The “short-time work” time type is defined for salary types 8880 | 8900 | 8910, which is included in the actual time. Balanced as “Miscellaneous”.

Salary types 5690 and 5090 are used as soon as a daily allowance is charged.

Since short-time work compensation is shown on the wage statement, Section 7 ‘Other Benefits’ must be entered in salary type 5090 under Obligations – salary certificate.

Excerpt from Art 37 AVIG

The employer must pay the full statutory and contractually agreed social security contributions corresponding to normal working hours during short-time work. The employer is entitled to deduct full employees’ contribution share from their wages, unless otherwise agreed. (Source: State Secretariat for Eco-nomic Affairs SECO, AVIG practice for KAE)

*Obligation to KTG and BVG

The setup depends on the policy. If you have any questions, please contact your insurer.

Grace hours/days

Grace days are also subject to a 20% reduction. Therefore, they, as well as short-time work days, can be reported using the respective salary types 8880 and 8910.

Reporting of short-time work hours lost

The hours lost due to short-time work are then recorded using salary type 8910 (MW), their number only, no rate or amount. Salary type 9810 automatically includes the resulting salay type 1180 that takes the 20% reduction into account. The hourly rate stored and thus the corresponding amount are calculated based on this salary type. For HW, this is salary type 8880 and the automatic resulting salary type 8890.

Although a 20% reduction in wages is made, meaning that “only” 80% of the agreed wage is paid, the social security bases are charged at 100%.

The actual hours worked are recorded as usual.
