GeniusCount is Swissdec-certified

Payroll management compliant with Swiss standards, secure data exchange and simplified transmission to social insurers.

What is Swissdec?

Swissdec is the official Swiss standard for the electronic exchange of payroll data. It defines a common standard, the “Swiss Salary Standard / ELM”, that lets payroll software transmit salary data securely and in a harmonised way to social insurers, withholding tax and statistical offices, in a single submission.

Swissdec-certified software has gone through a rigorous validation procedure guaranteeing the accuracy of calculations and the compliance of transmissions.
