Need help in salary calculation!! Can someone explain all the deduction please??
I really need someone that know things about working in Switzerland explain for me about all the deduction in my girlfriend's salary.
Her gross salary is 3,409.15.- , but she recently received the paycheck for 2,553.75.-, meaning almost 900.- deduction.
I have listed down all the deduction and here are all the things:
- AHV / IV / EO: 180.70
- ALV (unemployment insurance): 37.55
- Krankenversicherung: 35.90
- Unfallversicherung: 61.25
- Berufliche Vorsorge:84.30
- Quellensteuer: 176.25
- LGAV contribution: 49.50
- Kleiderdepot: 50.00
- Verpflegung: 180.00
According to her contract, the 13th-month salary is supposed to be paid monthly at the rate of 8.33%. When she brought this up to her boss , he said they will only pay the 13th-month salary after 3-month probation period (Probezeit). Is that normal or allowed?
There is also a 180.- “Verpflegung” deduction for food. She works in the kitchen and apparently isn't allowed to opt out of the meals. When she asked about it, the boss basically just responded 🤷🏻♂️
Other coworkers have the same problem as hers, received around 500 to 900 deduction in paycheck so she's not the only one.
I never work in Swiss before so I don't know anything about all the deductions in paycheck and she said that she never got this much amount of deduction either. I really want to know if these are normal in Switzerland, especially the 180.- food deduction and the 13th-month salary arrangement? Is there anything here that we should ask the employer about?
Thank you all for reading my post. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙏
