GAV (CLA) contribution for enforcement and further training costs, for earnings under CHF 148'200 annual salary / CHF 62.55 base hourly wage (UVG maximum).

These deductions are based on the legal requirements. In case of changes, you will find the updated information here. Changes take place irregularly, but usually on 01 January.

These deductions are calculated independently of the compulsory deductions. At the end of a calendar year, at the latest, Coople checks whether the deductions were necessary for the worker individually and reimburses you for any excess contributions deducted no later than 3 months after the start of the following calendar year.

Please note that, while you may not see it on your payslip, Coople (as your legal employer) also contributes to your social insurance. For AHV, BVG, KTG and ALV, 50% of the contributions are paid by us.
