Hiring a housekeeper, a nanny, a driver or a gardener makes your household an employer in its own right. In Geneva the framework is precise: a standard employment contract for domestic work, social insurance from the first salary, and filings that come back every month.
We take on this household management over time, from hiring to the annual salary certificate. You keep the relationship with the people who work for you; we make sure everything is in order, quietly.
Running your residences
Household management in Geneva and beyond: staff schedules, suppliers, maintenance and repairs, budgets and invoices, with one contact who knows how you like things done.
Recruitment and contracts
Coordination of recruitment through agencies or your own contacts, and written contracts based on Geneva's standard employment contract for domestic work (CTT-EDom), reviewed by your lawyers where needed.
Social insurance
Registration with the AHV/AVS compensation fund, accident insurance (LAA), occupational pension (LPP) where the conditions are met, family allowances and the sickness loss-of-earnings insurance provided for in Geneva's standard employment contract for domestic work (CTT-EDom, art. 13).
Monthly payroll
Household staff payroll in Switzerland handled every month: salary calculation and payment, payslips, contribution statements, holiday and absence tracking.
Withholding tax and certificates
Deduction and filing of withholding tax for staff who are subject to it, and preparation of the annual salary certificates.
Chèque service or full mandate
For a few hours a week, Geneva's chèque service scheme may be enough. We help you choose the right route and take over the more complex situations.
A well-run home
You choose the people and set the priorities for the house. We look after the administrative regularity, the deadlines and the day-to-day coordination.
Working conditions follow the applicable legal framework and standard contract; employment law questions are handled with your lawyers. Ridger provides administration, payroll and coordination for your household staff. Ridger does not manage assets and does not provide investment advice.
