Benefits for employees

With our Swisscard Way of Work (S-WoW), we enable you to significantly shape your everyday working life and support you in your life-domain balance. With us you can expect:

Remote Work

We are flexible in the choice of where you work within Switzerland. Our employees work in the office, on the road or in co-working spaces. We make it possible to work from within the EU (up to 20% of the working time already worked in the calendar year). We provide the appropriate hardware for this.

 

Flexible working time models

With our annual working hours, we have significantly expanded the scope for structuring working hours. Supplemented by flexitime and part-time models, we enable our employees at all levels to achieve an optimal work-life balance.

 

Vacations and unpaid leave

We think there needs to be a healthy balance between working hours and free time. That’s why we at Swisscard take slightly longer vacations than others:

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

 

Paid break

Even during a workday, short breaks are important to maintain concentration. We support our employees in this with two paid 15-minute (morning & afternoon) breaks.

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

• Swisscard’s own defined contribution pension fund with age-dependent salary deductions, 40% of which are financed by the employee and 60% by Swisscard
• Choice between Budget, Standard and Maxi contribution options
• The risk contribution of 3% is fully financed by Swisscard.
• In addition, the variable wage component is insured in the bonus plan.
• Possibility of improving retirement benefits by paying in additional purchase sums, which are credited to the savings balance from non-compulsory pension provision.

And because 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 fair daily sickness benefits insurance.

• Swisscard fully finances the occupational and non-occupational accidents premiums for all employees.
• Our employees are insured against non-occupational accidents worldwide and privately, including legally excluded risks.
• In the event of long-term illness, our employees are insured for up to two years.

"The only constant in life is change." (Heraclitus) To keep our employees fit for change, we offer, for example:

• Time or financial support for external training
• The "Talent Plus" development program for our employees in operational areas
• Completing internal stages
• Various courses (also online) on professional or personal topics
• Free LinkedIn Learning and Babbel access
• And our "Corporate Volunteering" assignment (1 day per year) for a change in perspective

We want to support our employees in creating space and downtime for themselves in their private lives as well. Therefore, we offer the following advantages:

• 100% paid maternity leave of 13 or 18 weeks (depending on length of employment)
• 100% paid paternity leave of 3 weeks; taken in one go or in individual days

Good health and wellbeing are the basic prerequisites for a fulfilling life and professional success. We promote our employees’ well-being and job satisfaction due to more energy and productivity with physical and mental health offers.

• KINASTIC health portal
• Various courses/lunch lessons (remote & on-site) and information material on stress prevention, resilience and mental health
• Support in difficult situations through our partner Movis
• Gym in the company headquarters’ building
• Massage offers
• Staff restaurant with balanced menu

No one likes being stuck in a traffic jam in the morning, and the daily commute by car is a burden on the wallet and the environment at the same time. That is why we actively promote the use of public transport:

• Free shuttle service from Horgen See train station and from the ferry in Horgen to the company headquarters
• Discounts for ZVV NetworkPass or Z-BonusPass
• 33% discount on Reka-Checks up to an amount of CHF 1,000
• Electric charging stations for electric cars at the company headquarters

We offer numerous other benefits that our employees can use for work or leisure. For example:

• Purchase discounts through Brands for Employees (link: https://brandsforemployees.ch/en) with the guaranteed lowest prices in Switzerland for technology, fashion, sports, household offers, etc.
• Discounted lunch in the staff restaurant, free water and selection of teas
