What Helpore does

Every month, Helpore prepares your Helper's payslip and works out the contributions you owe, from the details you give. At the start you get a pre-filled pack to register with the offices. You also get the annual wage documents. Helpore support answers your questions, as on Admin.

What you do

You register with the offices and take out your own accident insurance. Helpore shows you offers to choose from. You pay your Helper, the offices and the insurer directly. You pay Helpore only the Admin Light fee. No authorization needed.

What Helpore does

Everything in Admin Light, plus:

In your name, Helpore registers the employment, arranges the accident insurance, runs the payroll and pays the net wage and the contributions, from one bill a month.

What you do

You sign the authorization once.

Set up Admin

Signing up during the year? Your first fee is one full month or one full year of your plan, from the day it starts. No pro rata, and no fee for the months before. Switching mid year works: wages paid so far this year, holidays taken and the registration with the compensation office carry over.

Admin Light, monthly billing: cancel monthly; the fee month you are in is the last one. Admin, monthly billing: 3 months' notice to the end of a month. While your first subscription is active, Admin for each further person you employ costs CHF 19.90 a month or CHF 214.80 a year.

Clear roles, no hidden costs

Admin Light and Admin are optional; Admin covers the agreed administration under your authorization. Wages, social security contributions, insurance premiums and other statutory employment costs remain separate and visible.

  3. Someone you already employ

    I already have a cleaner, nanny or carer

    With Admin, Helpore registers the employment and runs payroll, contributions and insurance administration under your authorization. Prefer to stay in control? Choose Admin Light.

  4. Doing it yourself

    I run the administration myself

    With Admin Light, Helpore records the agreed terms and prepares the monthly payslip and contribution figures while you register, file and pay. The free guides cover the rest.

How it works

Two ways in, one platform

Employing keeps the price, the payment and the records connected.

If you need a Helper

  1. Search by service and place

    Choose the service and enter your address, postcode or city. You see profiles that cover your area.

  2. Compare at a price you see first

    Rates, availability and visible checks side by side. The full price is shown before you confirm.

  3. Your Helper confirms the request

    With a card, the amount is authorised when you send the request and charged only when the Helper confirms, and until then you cancel free of charge. With TWINT, it is charged at once and refunded in full if the Helper declines.

If you already have someone

  1. Bring the Helper you already know

    Invite the Helper you already have for a clearer, more transparent working relationship. Their profile stays private unless they choose to make it public.

  2. Choose Admin or Admin Light

    Sign the contract, and the authorization if Helpore should handle the money and the filings for you.

  3. Every month is ready on time

    Payroll, payslips and contributions are run for you on Admin, or prepared for you to pay on Admin Light.

Prefer your phone?

The documents, the monthly administration and the payment records for your Helper are in your Helpore account, on the web and in the Helpore app.

Helpore

A human choice, backed by better systems

You choose the person. Helpore gives you the information and administration needed to make the relationship clearer, from the day you employ someone.

Verification you can see

Profiles show the checks Helpore has completed for that Helper: identity, and the criminal record certificate where the Helper has provided one.

  • Prices before you decide

    See the full household price before confirmation.

  • Helper-set rates protected

    Helpers set their own rates, and frequency discounts do not reduce them.

  • Managed the way you want

    Adapted to your needs, from self managed to letting Helpore take care of the agreed administration.

  • Records in one place

    Payments, documents and administration records stay connected.

What households ask before starting

Clear answers on finding a Helper and managing the employment with Helpore.

Who is my Helper’s employer?

Your household is your Helper’s legal employer in all three models: Flex, Admin Light and Admin. Helpore prepares the payroll records and documents and, on Admin, carries out the agreed administration under your authorization; Admin Light needs none.

What is the difference between Flex, Admin Light and Admin?

Flex is hourly help from Helpers you find here, with no subscription and the full price shown before you confirm. With Admin Light, Helpore records the agreed terms of one relationship and prepares its monthly payslip and contributions, while you do the registrations, filings and payments yourself. With Admin, Helpore runs the registration, payroll, contributions and insurance administration for you under your authorization. Both work for a Helper you already know.

Can I bring a Helper I already know?

Yes. If you already have a Helper, you can start directly with Admin Light or Admin. You do not need Flex for that.

What if I find a Helper through Flex and want to keep them?

You can move your relationship with a Helper you found through Flex to Admin Light or Admin. If you already know your Helper, you do not need to wait for Flex.

Who sets the Helper’s hourly rate?

Helpers set their own rates. Helpore checks the applicable minimums and shows the full household price before confirmation.

What does the price include?

Flex shows one household total before you confirm, with the Helper’s pay, the employment amounts that apply and Helpore’s service fee. Admin Light and Admin are separate flat subscriptions for the administration. The Helper’s wage, social security contributions, insurance premiums and other statutory employment costs stay separate and visible. All listed Helpore prices include VAT, to the extent it is owed.
