Swissstaffing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

swissstaffing is a Swiss business association for personnel service providers . It was founded in 1968 as the Swiss Association of Companies for Temporary Work (SVUTA) and has had its current name since the merger with the Association of Personnel Consultants in Switzerland (VPDS, January 22, 1998).

The employers' association aims to represent the interests of the industry and to ensure competent services for the rapidly growing needs for temporary workers and flexible work opportunities. swissstaffing now represents over 350 companies. The members have more than 600 locations in Switzerland and achieved a turnover of over 7 billion francs in 2015.

There has been a generally binding collective employment contract "GAV Personnel Hire " since 2012 . swissstaffing has negotiated this with the unia , syna , Employees Switzerland and KV Switzerland . The GAV regulates the handling of temporary workers, especially in the area of ​​social security. In addition, the temptraining training fund was set up as part of the GAV staff leasing scheme.

Social insurance

The association operates its own AHV compensation fund (AHV = old-age and survivors' insurance) for the settlement of all social security contributions and all obligations from the collective employment contract. A family compensation fund is used to process contribution and benefit payments in accordance with the Federal Law on Family Allowances (FamZG) SR 836.2. The swissstaffing compensation fund with associated family compensation fund (AK 117, swisstempcomp) is managed by the consimo competence center.

Employees who are over the age of 17 and receive an annual wage of more than CHF 21,150 (as of January 1, 2016) are subject to compulsory insurance in accordance with the federal law on occupational old-age, survivors' and disability benefits (BVG). According to the BVG Ordinance (BVV 2), employees with a fixed-term employment contract of a maximum of three months are not subject to mandatory insurance. If the employment relationship is extended beyond a period of three months, you must be insured from the time the extension was agreed.

This also applies to temporary workers . In various respects, however, extra regulations are required for the occupational pension provision of temporary workers. This has prompted the industry association swissstaffing to set up its own association pension fund to set up, which operates with the following approaches:

  1. It is not uncommon for temporary workers to complete several consecutive assignments, each of which lasts less than three months, but the employment at the recruitment agency lasts longer than three months. According to the regulations of the 2nd pillar swissstaffing foundation , temporary workers are to be insured in such situations in accordance with the BVG if the total duration of their interrupted assignments exceeds three months and the interruption between assignments does not last longer than 13 weeks.
  2. To ensure that the benefits of the first and second pillar are coordinated with one another, the BVG premium is not paid on the entire salary, but only on the coordinated salary (BVG maximum salary less coordination deduction ). According to the BVG, the coordination deduction is currently CHF 24,675 per year, the BVG maximum wage is CHF 84,600 per year. Since temporary workers are often only employed for a few months, the annual calculation makes little sense in their case. The 2nd pillar foundation swissstaffing therefore operates with a coordination deduction converted to the hour. The maximum wage is also converted to the hour. With this calculation method, temporary workers can be insured from the first hour of work.
  3. 93% of the insured are affiliated to the 2nd pillar foundation swissstaffing for a maximum of twelve months. This is an expression of the short employment relationships that are typical for temporary work. With a total of 22,200 active insured persons, the 2nd pillar foundation swissstaffing counted over 20,000 entries and exits in 2015. The administrative costs are CHF 260 per person.

The 2nd pillar foundation swissstaffing generated a return of 1.7% and a contribution margin of 135% in 2015. Interest on all retirement assets is 3.25% (2016).
