Remote work has opened up new possibilities. More and more people based in Switzerland are taking on international roles, working for companies abroad, or collaborating with global clients. For many professionals living in Vaud or around Lake Geneva, the idea of stepping outside the Swiss system can feel like a big leap.


But one big question often follows:

How do you work abroad without giving up the stability and protection that comes with being employed in Switzerland?


This is where Numeriq Payroll Services comes in.

The challenge of working for an international employer


Let’s say you’re offered a role with a company in the UK, the US, or elsewhere in Europe. It might be fully remote. It might even require occasional travel.


Exciting? Absolutely.Simple from an administrative perspective? Not always.


Questions quickly arise:

  • What happens to your Swiss social security?

  • What about pension contributions?

  • Health insurance?

  • Tax reporting?

  • Residency status?

For many professionals, the idea of losing the Swiss safety net can feel risky.

The solution? A Swiss employer of record


Numeriq acts as your Swiss employer of record. That means you can work for an international company while remaining employed in Switzerland.


In practical terms, this allows you to:

  • Stay enrolled in the Swiss social security system

  • Continue pension contributions

  • Maintain Swiss insurance coverage

  • Keep your Swiss residency status

  • Avoid complex international administrative processes

You gain the flexibility of global work without stepping outside the Swiss system.

Why this matters

Switzerland offers some of the strongest employment protections and insurance benefits in Europe.

Remaining within the Swiss framework can mean:

  • Top-tier Swiss insurance coverage (including private hospital options, if applicable)

  • Stability in case of illness, maternity, or unemployment

  • Clear, predictable payroll processes

  • A regular monthly salary


Numeriq also manages the administrative side of things, handling payroll, invoicing and compliance with both Swiss and international requirements.

That means you receive a consistent monthly salary, even if the international client pays late. Something that can make a real difference when it comes to financial stability.

It’s the freedom of international work, without giving up your Swiss safety net.


Who is this for?

This model can be particularly useful for:

  • Professionals offered roles with companies that don’t have a Swiss entity

  • Consultants or freelancers who want employment stability

  • Remote workers collaborating with international clients

  • Swiss residents exploring career opportunities beyond national borders


It allows you to expand your professional horizons without dismantling your existing setup.
