Contribution obligations of employers and employees

Employers and employees each pay half of the OASI/DI/EO and ALV contributions. Both the contributions to the Family Allowances Office and the administration fee contributions are borne exclusively by the employers.

How much are the contributions

Has your payroll changed significantly?

Please inform us of any significant changes to the payroll, so that the instalments can be adjusted accordingly. In doing so, you can avoid back payments and possibly interest on arrears. You can make the necessary adjustments directly online via our portal connect.

Registration

New members of staff must be reported to the compensation office within a month. The easiest way to do it is online via our portal connect.

If a new OASI certificate is required due to a name change, it is also possible to order it online via our portal connect.

deregistration (departure) of employees

Any employees who leave the company must be reported within 10 working days, insofar as they receive family allowances (Art. 18d para. 2 of the Familienzulagenverordnung FamZV (Family Allowance Ordinance - in German).

The notification of departure may also be provided online via our portal connect.

Simplify your payments by using direct debit via a bank (LSV+) or Debit Direct (DD) via PostFinance.

How you benefit:

• You reduce your administrative burden, because the payments on account are automatically debited from your account on the due date.
• You don't have to worry about payment deadlines and interest on arrears.
• You save PostFinance or banking fees, because both LSV and DD are free of charge.
• You are not taking any risks, because in case of any discrepancies you can reverse a direct debit payment already made within 30 days.

For organisational reasons, LSV and DD can only be used for settling the regular payments on account. No sum of money appears on the paying-in slip, but instead you will see *****.**. The balancing payments for every year of contribution must, on the other hand, be settled using the enclosed paying-in slip.

How do I register for LSV/DD?
You just have to fill in the form below entitled "Debit authorization form Debit Direct / LSV +". Submit the completed form

• in case of debit authorization for the PostFinance postal account to our compensation office
• in case of debit authorization for the bank account to the bank.

As soon as the payment deadline is no longer printed on your bill after having been replaced with the remark "In accordance with the authorisation dated [...], we will debit this amount from your bank/PostFinance account No. [...] as of [...]", the invoice total will be automatically debited from the account you specified.
