Payroll system
Swiss companies often adopt a 13-month salary structure, providing employees with an additional month's pay in December.
This extra payment, known as the 13th salary, is typically disbursed alongside the regular December salary. While this practice is prevalent, it is not obligatory.
Foreign workers holding permits may have taxes and contributions deducted at the source.
