Salary notification

In the case of an insured who is paid a salary customary for the profession and location, for the purpose of calculating the UVG salary he/she must be taken out of the group of insured persons and entered manually.

Report these persons (including date of departure) to AXA to ensure that they can be excluded from the policy on the correct date.

If a maximum salary is dependent on a medical examination, the maximum salary without medical examination must be entered in the system as default. Only when AXA issues a certificate of insurance for the higher salary amount can the maximum salary be entered with health questions. This applies to each case separately.

Example:

Maximum salary without medical examination: CHF 300,000

Maximum salary with medical examination: CHF 350,000

Without a certificate of insurance from AXA a declarable salary of CHF 300,000 is entered.

With a certificate of insurance from AXA the declarable salary can be increased to CHF 350,000.

Employees must be declared to the AHV office on January 1 of the year in which they reach age 18 (the year of their 18th birthday).

This minimum age does not apply to daily sickness benefits, mandatory accident insurance or supplementary accident insurance. Young employees' salaries have to be declared regardless of age.

Currently persons who have reached the reference age (formerly: normal retirement age) of 65 for both men and women receive CHF 16,800 annually that is tax free and exempt from OASI contributions and which does not need to be declared.

This exempt amount does not apply to daily sickness benefits, mandatory accident insurance or supplementary accident insurance. The full salary has to be declared. The difference versus the AHV salary is entered in the system.

EO compensation must be entered separately. AHV: EO compensation has to be declared. Accordingly, under UVG supplementary insurance it must be added to the UVG and surplus salary to obtain the effective AHV salary. This can be done during the data entry completion phase prior to the confirmation phase. 

In the case of persons in multiple employment, salaries can be adjusted manually prior to submission.

Example:

Salary at employer A: CHF 80,000

Salary at employer B: CHF 100,000

Total: CHF 180,000

The total must be reduced to the maximum UVG salary – currently CHF 148,000.
