Switzerland – New National Salary Calculation Tool for Seconded Workers
March 11, 2019
On March 5, 2019, the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) published a new national salary calculation tool that all cantonal labour authorities must now use when conducting remuneration checks to verify the work conditions of seconded workers (temporary intra company transferees or workers posted at a client site to fulfill a service contract).
Action Items
- Employers must ensure that their employees posted to work in Switzerland meet the minimum salary requirement according to the new national salary tool.
- Employers who may be affected are encouraged to contact their immigration specialist for case-specific advice.
