1. Verify your company.

If you verify your company, we can securely forward your data to the appropriate authorities. 

Needed information: Authentification code.

Nice to know.

If you have ordered an authentification code, the «order letter code» task will appear in the dashboard. Do you want to request a new code? This is possible at any time. The code will be sent by postal service within 5 working days to your specified company address. Please note: You should carry out the authentification code at least 4 weeks before the wage transmission.


2. Insurance details.

Complete your insurance details so that all payroll deductions are correct and your wage slips and electronic payroll declarations can be drawn up correctly.

Needed information: OASI (AHV) final account of the previous year or account statement, electronic wage reporting (ELM), profiles of the insurance companies AI (UVG), AAI (UVGZ), HI (KTG) and LPP (BVG) premium list.

Nice to know.

For the electronic wage reporting (ELM) KLARA requires various information that is not included in the insurance policies. It is therefore important to request EWR (ELM) profiles. Click here for a list of contacts where you can do this.


3. Bank accounts.

Would you like to pay the salaries directly from the company's bank account? If so, enter your bank details. Afterwards release the account for salary payments. This way, KLARA will automatically execute payments. 

Needed information: IBAN number.

Nice to know.

There are three different ways to use accounts in KLARA.

  1. Bank account for salary payments: If you use KLARA Payroll, the salaries are automatically being executed from this account.
  2. Bank account for receivables: If you use the KLARA Order management, this account will be shown on your invoice and payment slips.
  3. Bank account for payables: If you use KLARA Accounting, this account is proposed as a default when posting documents.


4. Withholding tax.

If you employ employees subject to withholding tax, you should enter their canton of residence and the withholding tax customer number.

Needed information: Withholding tax customer number.

Nice to know.

You can request your customer number from the relevant tax office. Please note: You should also adjust the withholding tax details for employees subject to withholding tax, according to step 6.


5. Salary certificate.

Enter the basic data in order to create the salary statements exactly according to your needs.

Needed information: Salary statement of the previous year, if available

Nice to know.

The general configurations apply to the salary statements of your entire workforce. You always have the option of storing deviations for the corresponding employee.

A pension statement (Rentenbescheinigung) is only necessary in exceptional cases.


6. Manage employees.

Register your employees completely, so that KLARA can create your salary statements correctly.

Needed information: All employee master data, salary and contract details, insurance and pension fund details, withholding tax details (if required).

Nice to know.

Register all employees cleanly and completely (spouse, other income, etc.). Especially for employees subject to withholding tax, all details must be complete including any children's and education allowances.
