What you get as an employee
What the three names mean for you
- Helpore Admin: a household employs you on a written contract and stays your employer. Helpore does the administration under the household's authorization: your monthly payslip, the social contributions, your yearly wage summary and, where one is issued, your official salary certificate in January. The household pays Helpore for this; you never pay Helpore a fee.
- Helpore Admin Light: a household employs you, stays your employer and pays your wage to you directly. Helpore prepares the figures, your payslips and a yearly wage summary. The household pays Helpore for this; you never pay Helpore a fee.
- Helpore Flex: households will book you on Helpore for one visit or for regular visits. Flex is coming soon. The household that books you will be your employer and will pay Helpore's fee on top of your rate.
- The household that books you is your employer.
- AHV contributions are recorded in your name.
- Occupational accident cover from your first hour.
- Paid holidays: under a contract Helpore Admin draws up for the household, or under the agreed terms Helpore Admin Light records for it, holidays are paid time off, unless your hourly wage adds holiday pay to every hour instead. Once Helpore Flex opens, holiday pay for Flex visits comes on top of your rate and shows separately on your payslip.
- Real Swiss payroll gives you a payslip. With Helpore Admin you also get your yearly wage summary and, where one is issued, your official salary certificate in January; with Helpore Admin Light, a yearly wage summary.
- Helpore Admin and Helpore Admin Light: paid on the household's payout day, the 25th unless you agreed otherwise. Once Helpore Flex opens, Flex visits are paid on the first Wednesday after the visit counts as completed, one day after it ends.
- Your own gross hourly rate, never below CHF 24.55 in Lucerne.
- You never pay Helpore a fee, and Helpore takes nothing from your wage.

Your wage in Lucerne
On Helpore your rate is never below CHF 24.55 in Lucerne.
By law, the minimum for work done in the city of Lucerne is CHF 22.75 an hour. It is the city's own minimum wage, and it covers household work too. The standard employment contract for domestic work sets CHF 20.35 for unskilled work, CHF 22.30 from four years of experience or with an EBA and CHF 24.55 with an EFZ; the household that employs you pays at least the higher of the two figures for your work.
The city of Lucerne has its own minimum wage, and it covers household work too. It is higher than the basic minimum of the standard employment contract for domestic work; where the contract sets more for your experience or qualification, the higher figure applies. Outside the city, for example in Kriens, Emmen or Horw, the canton sets no minimum wage and the standard contract's minimums apply.
Your rate step starts at CHF 26.00, a suggestion you can change.
