Benefits for employees

With our Swisscard Way of Work (S-WoW), we enable you to shape your everyday working life and support you with your work-life balance. With us you enjoy:

Remote work

We are flexible in terms of where you work in Switzerland. Our employees work in the office, at home, and at co-working spaces. We allow our staff to work anywhere in the EU (up to 20% of total hours worked in the calendar year). We provide our employees with the appropriate hardware to enable them to do this.

Flexible working time models

With our annual working time model, we have significantly increased our employees’ scope to structure their working hours. Supplemented by flexitime and part-time arrangements, we enable employees at every level of seniority to achieve the best work-life balance.

Vacations and unpaid leave

We believe that there should be a healthy balance between an employee’s working hours and free time. That’s why we offer longer vacations at Swisscard than other companies:

• 5 to 6 weeks’ paid vacation per year (depending on age)
• Vacation purchase scheme (10 additional days per year possible)
• Unpaid leave

Paid breaks

Short breaks help employees maintain their concentration. during the working day. We therefore provide our employees with two paid 15-minute breaks, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

We look ahead and actively take care of your pension provision – so you can look to the future without worries.

• Swisscard’s defined contribution pension scheme with age-related salary deductions, 40% of which are funded by the employee and 60% by Swisscard
• Choice between Budget, Standard and Maxi contribution options
• Risk contribution of 3% fully funded by Swisscard
• The variable salary component is also insured in the bonus plan.
• Possibility to enhance retirement benefits by paying in extra which is credited to the savings balance from the supplementary pension provision

And since you can never know exactly what the future holds, we offer you comprehensive insurance coverage for occupational and non-occupational accidents as well as up-to-date and good value daily sickness benefits insurance.

• Swisscard fully funds the occupational and non-occupational accident premiums for all employees.
• Our employees are insured against non-occupational accidents worldwide and privately, including legally excluded risks.
