Do I have to register my domestic helper with the AHV?

Regular employment
Yes, by law you are obliged to register your domestic help with the AHV - and thus with the important social insurances.

This protects your domestic help from the negative consequences of disability, loss of income and unemployment in the event of an emergency.

We help you register your domestic help free of charge with our employment assistant Fairboss.ch.

Here we provide you with the appropriate form for your canton to download and the address to which you must send the completed form. Good to know: You have 30 days after employment to register.

We explain in detail which steps are necessary to hire and insure your domestic help: How do I hire a domestic helper?

Self-employed domestic help and cleaning companies
No, you do not have to register a self-employed domestic helper or cleaning company.
