The initial situation

Every month looked different.

At berufsbildner.ch, there are no fixed standing orders. Depending on the month, the number of lecturers varies, sometimes reaching up to 80. Recording and accurately mapping the specific assignments, fees, and expenses for each individual was a complex and time-consuming process.

On top of that, there were special cases like illnesses, which occurred rarely and therefore required new training every single time. A single case could easily take up half a day or even a full day.

Special cases like illnesses used to be quite time-consuming for us because they aren't part of our daily routine. These tasks could easily take up half a day to a full day per case. We simply don't have those overheads anymore.

Switching to Paymira

Software and people, not one or the other.

For berufsbildner.ch, it was quickly clear: Paymira isn't your typical software where you sign up and are left to fend for yourself. It’s a hybrid. The tasks that can be automated are handled by the platform, but behind it are real experts who are available to provide support whenever questions arise.

The transition itself was manageable. Of course, it required some effort to switch systems and thoroughly review all payroll accounting processes. For berufsbildner.ch, however, it felt more like a spring cleaning than a heavy lift.

You know there are experts behind it, and those are the people you’re reaching. At the same time, everything that can be automated is handled through the platform. We now have a level of transparency we didn't have before.

The result

More than just payroll.

Since switching, Paymira has taken over not just payroll processing, but also all the related tasks: registering new employees with the pension fund, handling accidents, illnesses, and other cases. These are exactly the types of infrequent tasks that used to be time-consuming every time they came up. All in all, our administrative workload for payroll has dropped by about three-quarters, and for the tasks Paymira handles entirely, it has effectively been reduced to zero.

−75%
