FAQs

What is a Labour-leasing licence?
Switzerland has strict and complex labour-leasing and employment laws, tightly regulated both federally (by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and by the cantons.
Regardless of the contractor’s nationality, non-Swiss recruitment agencies cannot legally recruit for a Swiss client without holding a labour leasing license.
The penalties for illegally employing foreign workers include fines up to CHF 100,000 and up to three years of detention.
Access Financial Sàrl is a registered swiss labour leasing company with more than 18 years of experience in the Swiss labour market. We offer a complete, comprehensive and compliant Swiss Labour Leasing Payroll, Work Permit and Management solution if you are a recruitment business, contractor or corporate.

What is a Professional Employment Organisation (PEO) or Employer of Record (EOR)?
A PEO or EOR enables organisations to employ staff lawfully in a country with no local entity.
As a global professional employer organisation (PEO) service provider, we enter into a joint-employment relationship with an employer by leasing employees to the employer. This arrangement allows us to share and manage many employee-related responsibilities and liabilities, such as onboarding, payroll and taxes, legal administration, employee health and retirement benefits and many more issues. At the same time, the client has day-to-day control of the employee.
Setting up a local company or branch is time-consuming and costly. PEO is the fast, safe route to mobilising a workforce fast and leave the administration to us whose business it is.
Why choose us as your PEO service provider?
- We have eight offices and thirty group companies worldwide and work in league with local employment law specialists, tax advisers, immigration and payroll specialists and HR firms.
- Onboarding in as little as 48 hours.
- We make the salary payments and invoicing on time every time.
- We ensure total tax and employment compliance.
- We help expand your business quickly, compliantly, and cost-effectively.
Eligibility Criteria & Work Permits
- Open to EU/EEA nationals and non-EU nationals with work permit.
- Access Financial Sàrl employs the contractors and takes care of all the contracting formalities, onboarding, payroll and compliance.
Health Insurance
Contractors living or working in Switzerland must by law take out Swiss health insurance within three months of arrival. Failure to do so will lead to the canton taking out cover and sending the bill to the contractor.
At Access Financial, we partner with trusted insurance providers that can help you get the proper coverage.
