Swiss household employment
Also written: Grenzgänger, Ausweis G · Frontalier, permis G · Frontaliere, permesso G
Yes. A citizen of an EU or EFTA state who lives in a neighbouring country and works in Switzerland, returning home at least once a week, holds a cross border commuter permit (Ausweis G, permis G). The employment itself is Swiss: Swiss social insurance, Swiss labour law and the Swiss minimum wage rules of the place of work all apply.
Nothing about the wage floor changes: a commuter working in a Geneva household is owed the Geneva rate. What changes is tax. Withholding tax at source applies, with rates that depend on the country of residence and the canton, and the permit must be in place before the first day. Helpore records the permit, applies the right withholding and files the wage statements.
You are the employer. Helpore prepares the contract, files the declarations and produces the payslip in your name.
Where the highest household minimums apply, which is where most commuters work:
Yes. The G permit is applied for by the employer with the cantonal migration office before work begins. Helpore prepares the application with the household's details.
The Swiss one, for the place of work. A commuter in Geneva is under the CTT-EDom; one in Basel Stadt under the Basel minimum; one in Zurich under the federal floor and, inside the city, the municipal minimum.
