What if I need a “Gain Intermedaire” certificate?

Please contact your local Manpower team with your request.
Please note that all your timesheets have to be submitted and approved for this document t be “up-to-date”, otherwise the Unemployment Office won’t accept incomplete certificates.

 

How will I receive my Pay Slips?

Your pay slips are being send to you by email, to the email address you indicated when you created your MyManpower profile.

How do you calculate my hourly Gross Salary from the hourly Base Salary?

The calculation is follows:

    • Base * 4,35%/4,80% (NE/LS) –> bank holiday
    • (Base + bank holiday) * 8,33% –> holiday
    • (Base + bank holiday + holiday) * 8,33% –> 13th
    • Base + bank holiday + holiday + 13th –> Gross salary

 

I’m French and have a G Permit. I’m already paying taxes in France, what should I do?

In this case you have to request your commune (where you live) a “Attestation de Residence Fiscale”, which is the AS-2014 form (see below).
Please note that Manpower requires that document before the start of your assignments and thereafter before every 1st of January of each year of your contract.

Please note that if you live more then 1.5 hours away from the Swiss/France border , you are required to pay the Swiss Tax at Source.

I’m paying the Swiss Tax at Source, I don’t understand how this is calculated.

Since January 1st, the Swissdec 5.0 standard is imposed on all companies from the year 2021.
This simplifies the calculation of tax at source in our system as of January 1, 2021,

Details on the new calculation method – for hourly salaries:

– Our system now calculates tax only on the basis of hourly compensation (there is no longer a monthly global calculation as before, so no more adjustment at the end of the month)
– The tax rate is always equivalent to the monthly salary that would be achieved if the collaborator worked 180 hours in the month (the rate therefore no longer depends on the number of hours worked by the employee)
– The average hourly rate used to determine the tax rate is calculated taking into account the gross salary and certain supplements only
– On the other hand, the tax levied is calculated by applying the tax rate to the total taxable salary (including all supplements)
– SwissDec 5.0 no longer allows to break down the hours processed late in the incumbent  month, they are taxed together with the hours of the current accounting month, but this has no negative effect on the taxation of the collaborator, as the tax rate remains constant.

 

I see the social deductions applied to my gross salary, what do these abbreviations stand for?

    • AVS Contribution: this is the first pillar, the amount that you pay is then redistributed among the people which are retired. Based on your contributions you will also receive a first pillar pension when you retire.
    • AC1 Contribution: this is the contribution to the Unemployment Insurance; should you need to announce yourself to the Unemployment Office one day, the amount and duration of your Daily Indemnities will be based on these contributions.
    • SUVA NP office or industrial: this contribution goes to SUVA (Accident Insurance) and covers your professional and non-professional accidents. This includes reimbursement for hospital / doctor / pharmacy expenses and the loss of gain caused by the accident.
    • LPCFAm Canton Vaud Contribution: this contribution is linked to the canton Vaud; it’s a social contribution to the families residing in canton of Vaud.
    • LPP Hourly Salary: this is the second pillar, which is an amount that you put aside and that you will receive during your retirement (this is added to the 1st pillar).
    • APG CBA Temporary employment: this contribution goes to Zurich Insurance and it’s purpose is to cover the the Loss of Gain in case of Sick Leave (80% of the insured salary, paid as of the 3rd day of consecutive absence).
    • Professional contribution CBA Temp.empl.: this contribution goes to TempTraining, and allows temporary employees in Switzerland to receive reimbursements for Professional Trainings (www.temptraining.ch).

 

Note that these social deductions are mandated by the Collective Bargaining Agreement for every temporary employee in Switzerland
(not only Manpower employees).
