Swiss payroll carries obligations that catch most international groups off guard — AVS social security, LPP pension, LAA accident insurance, and source tax for non-resident employees, each with their own registration, reporting cycle, and cantonal variations. Dryden ICS manages the entire process on your behalf, from initial registration through to monthly payroll and ongoing reporting to both your head office and the Swiss authorities. You receive payslips and reports in English; we handle everything in French with the local authorities.

Bringing international staff to Switzerland means navigating permit categories, cantonal quotas, and timelines that vary significantly depending on nationality and role. Dryden ICS handles the permit application process directly, and for complex cases draws on specialist immigration agencies where needed. We also prepare employment contracts under Swiss law and provide ongoing HR support — giving international organisations a local HR function without the overhead of building one.
