If your employer provides you with accommodation, this counts as part of your salary, known as “salary in kind.” Here's what you need to know:

What counts as salary in kind?

• Accommodation only: $345/month
• Accommodation + food: $990/month

If you are not staying for the entire month, the calculation is made on a daily basis:

• Accommodation only: 11.50 CHF/day
• Meals (if provided):
• Breakfast: 3.50 CHF
• Lunch: 10.00 CHF
• Dinner: 8.00 CHF
• All three meals: 21.50 CHF
• Accommodation + all meals: 33.00 CHF/day

Important :

• They appear on your pay slip.
• They count towards your social security benefits (unemployment, retirement, etc.).
• These amounts are set by law and must be respected.
• If you are unable to take advantage of them (due to vacation, illness, or other reasons), these amounts must be paid in cash.

The LPP (Occupational Pensions Act) is the second pillar of social security in Switzerland, complementing the AVS. It protects you in the event of old age (retirement), death, or disability.

You are subject to the LPP if your annualized gross salary exceeds CHF 22'680 per contract. The contribution is shown on the pay slip.

Important :

• Affiliation is calculated per contract. 
• Contributions are often shared between you and your employee.
• If the threshold is reached, the LPP applies from the beginning of the year and retroactively if necessary. In this case, you can claim your share of the contribution.
• If your employee is affiliated at the beginning of the year or contract, your employee remains insured until the end of the calendar year or contract
