Switzerland's Leading Payrolling Company

Diligo handles your payrolling, social contributions and HR compliance — so you can focus on the work that matters.

What Does a Payrolling Company Do for You?

Payrolling in Switzerland is more complex than in most countries. Between AHV contributions, cantonal tax deductions, accident insurance requirements and quarterly reporting obligations, a single error can trigger backpayments and fines.

Diligo acts as your payrolling company in Switzerland, processing salaries, calculating and remitting AVS/AHV and other social contributions on time, issuing compliant payslips, and handling all communication with cantonal authorities on your behalf.

Whether you are an international company employing staff in Switzerland for the first time, a Swiss SME looking to outsource payroll, or a contractor needing a compliant employment structure, Diligo’s payrolling services remove the administrative burden entirely.
