Payroll compliance reviews
In Switzerland, various industries are governed by collective labour agreements (CLAs), that have been negotiated between employer and employee representatives. Upon request by the contracting parties, the Federation or Cantons may declare a CLA as generally binding, provided legal requirements are met. With the declaration of a CLA as legally binding, the scope of a CLA is extended to all employees and employers within the relevant industry and geographical area.
Each CLA stipulates, among other things, how compliance with its provisions is to be ensured. The joint commission, composed of employer and employee representatives, typically commissions an external audit body to verify compliance with the CLA. This auditor prepares a control report addressed to the joint commission, which may impose sanctions in the event of violations. PRÜFAG audits compliance with the provisions of various CLAs. The audit process requires an efficient and targeted approach, as well as extensive experience and knowledge of the specific industries.
PRÜFAG ensures compliance with the provisions of various collective labour agreements (CLAs). The audit process requires an efficient, targeted approach – and above all, in-depth knowledge of industry-specific requirements.
