Description

Service Years

These are the employee's years of service.

Salary Continuance in Weeks

For Geneva this value is 16 weeks. For all other cantons the value is 14 weeks.

EE Percent (employee percent)

This is the employee paid portion of the premium.

Maternity Minimum

This field is valid for the Geneva canton only.

Enter the minimum guaranteed maternity payment for this canton.

Note: Currently, for Geneva, the minimum guaranteed maternity payment is 54 CHF per day.

Maternity Maximum

Enter the maximum guaranteed maternity payment for this canton.

Note: Currently, for Geneva, the maximum guaranteed maternity payment is 237.40 CHF per day whereas for other cantons the maximum per day is 172.00 CHF.

Maternity Refund

Specify the percentage of the gross used to calculate maternity payments within the minimum and maximum limits for all of the cantons.

For example, assume that the following is true:

  • The maternity refund percentage is 80%.

  • The minimum and maximum maternity refund for Geneva are 54 CHF and 237.40 CHF respectively.

  • The maximum maternity refund for other cantons is 172 CHF.

If we assume that a woman's regular earnings are 50 CHF per day, the maternity refund would be 54 CHF in Geneva, as 80% x 50 CHF (= 40) is below the 54 CHF minimum for Geneva. In other cantons, however, the refund would be 40 CHF. And if we assume that the woman's regular earnings are 300 CHF per day, the maternity refund in Geneva would be 237.40 CHF, as 80% x 300 CHF (= 240) is greater than the 237.40 CHF maximum for Geneva. In other cantons, however, the maternity refund would be 172 CHF, as 80% x 300 CHF (= 240) exceeds the 172 CHF maximum for other cantons.
