Are you founding an AG or a GmbH? You’ll need an occupational pension scheme and accident insurance.

An occupational pension scheme (BVG) is mandatory for employees who earn at least CHF 21,330 a year. In addition, accident insurance (UVG) is required for all employees who are employed at salaries subject to AHV contributions.

Depending on the profession, liability insurance is also mandatory – for example, for lawyers.

Although daily sickness allowance insurance (KTG) is not mandatory for companies, they are required to continue to pay wages if an employee is absent due to illness.
