Swiss Employment Knowledge
We help you understand Swiss employment, payroll, and compliance requirements before hiring.
Global PEO / Employer of Record
Employer of Record and PEO support for companies hiring employees in Switzerland without immediately setting up a local entity.
Global PEO and Employer of Record services help international companies hire and manage employees in Switzerland without immediately establishing a Swiss legal entity.
For companies expanding into Switzerland, hiring local employees can involve employment contracts, payroll coordination, social security registration, tax obligations, HR administration, and compliance with Swiss employment law. Without local knowledge, these requirements can become time-consuming and risky.
Our team supports businesses that need a practical and compliant employment setup in Switzerland. We assist with understanding local employment obligations, preparing compliant employment documentation, coordinating administrative requirements, and supporting the employment relationship from onboarding to ongoing HR administration.
This service is suitable for foreign companies testing the Swiss market, hiring a first employee, supporting remote or distributed teams, or managing Swiss-based staff before deciding whether to create a local company.
We help simplify the process, reduce compliance risks, and provide structured support so your business can hire and operate with confidence.

FAQ
What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record is a structure that allows a company to hire employees in another country through a compliant local employment setup, without immediately creating its own local legal entity.
Who is this service for?
This service is suitable for foreign companies, startups, remote teams, and international businesses that want to hire or manage employees in Switzerland.
Do I need to open a Swiss company to hire an employee?
Not always. Depending on your situation, an Employer of Record or PEO solution may allow you to employ staff in Switzerland without immediately forming a Swiss company.
Can Boundless handle payroll directly?
Boundless provides guidance and coordination. Payroll and statutory administration may be handled through appropriate local partners or providers depending on the client’s needs.
Is this the same as employment law advice?
No. Employment law focuses on legal rights, contracts, disputes, and compliance. Employer of Record and PEO services focus on the practical setup and administration of hiring employees.
