The intelligent Swiss payroll software

KLARA Payroll is a paid offer within KLARA. The basic use of KLARA Payroll is free of charge and is not linked to fixed license fees. When wage transfers are made via KLARA Payroll, an amount of CHF 2.00 is incurred for each pay advice. This is calculated in the following month based on the number of pay advices generated via the KLARA Widget Store.

Using the example of 2 employees, i.e. 2 pay slips, this means a monthly payment of CHF 4.00. In an example with 5 employees, the cost would be CHF 10.00.

KLARA is a subsidiary of Swiss Post. Our products save a lot of time on administrative tasks: a cash register that does the bookkeeping independently; an accounting system that records and posts receipts independently or a payroll accounting system, connected to the bank, which takes care of the entire payroll run with a click of the mouse, including sending the wage statements.

ELM is the standardized salary reporting procedure of swissdec. It includes the annual reports to insurances, authorities and compensation funds as well as the monthly withholding tax report. KLARA is a swissdec certified wage software. This ensures that all necessary wage types are available and that the calculations in KLARA are correct.

Yes, you can correct past wage periods at any time via retroactive accounting. KLARA calculates how months should have been calculated correctly according to the new parameters and transfers a possible correction of the payment to the next wage run. With this method you do not have to worry about whether a payment has already been triggered and money has been transferred to the employee. KLARA knows all amounts that have already been paid out and knows what should be paid to your employee with the next wage calculation.

Basically you can start with the KLARA payroll accounting at any time. In order to be able to create an automatic wage statement for your employee at the end of the year, it is recommended to settle all data of a calendar year in one system. We recommend to open your payroll accounting in KLARA on January 1st of the respective calendar year. If you are in March, for example, you can map the two already settled months in KLARA.
