Bonus Plans

Reward Success: Legal Support for Bonus Plans

Bonus plans are a straightforward way to incentivize employees by sharing the company's financial success. Whether tied to individual performance, team results, or company profits, a well-structured bonus plan motivates employees while ensuring compliance with Swiss employment laws. We provide tailored support to design and implement bonus plans that align with your business goals.

Our unique approach

A bonus plan is a practical tool to reward employees and foster a performance-driven culture. Setting up a legally compliant and clear bonus system ensures alignment between employee incentives and company profitability while reducing potential disputes.

 

Here’s how we can support:

  • Tailored Bonus Plan Design: We help structure bonus plans that align with your company’s financial goals, specifying eligibility, performance criteria, and payout conditions.

  • Legal Compliance: We ensure your bonus plan complies with Swiss employment laws, including tax and social security obligations.

  • Discretionary vs. Guaranteed Bonuses: We advise on structuring bonuses as either discretionary payments or contractual entitlements, depending on your needs.

  • Performance Metrics: We help define measurable and transparent performance indicators, whether tied to individual achievements, team goals, or company-wide success.

  • Integration with Employment Contracts: We draft and adapt employment agreements to reflect bonus eligibility, ensuring clarity and enforceability.

  • Taxation and Reporting Guidance: We provide advice on tax implications for both employers and employees, ensuring correct reporting and compliance.

  • Administration Support: We assist with setting up processes for monitoring, calculating, and distributing bonus payments efficiently.

 

By tailoring bonus plans to your needs, we help you create a motivational tool that rewards success while minimizing legal and administrative risks.
