Payroll run in under 30 minutes

How ServiceOcean moved its Swiss payroll administration from its fiduciary to Paymira, cut costs and kept Personio as its leading HR system.

  • Under 30 minutes

    For the monthly payroll run.

  • Lower costs

    Several hundred francs a month below the fiduciary.

  • Personio stays

    Connected as the leading HR system.

Lower costs, same quality.

ServiceOcean has two homes, one in Switzerland and one in Germany. When responsibility for Swiss people matters was brought together in HR, payroll, insurance and tax came with it. Exactly the topics where Swiss payroll has rules of its own.

Until then, payroll ran through a fiduciary, and the pressure on costs was real. So the brief for the evaluation was clear: become cheaper without compromising on service quality. On top of that came the wish for less manual work and more efficiency.

We wanted to cut costs, but not at the expense of quality. That was the brief we took into the evaluation.

A calm switch.

The decision came after a careful evaluation by the HR lead. Today, the Swiss payroll administration runs through Paymira, connected to Personio as the leading HR system.

The rollout was communicated clearly inside the company, to the employees as well. The switch went smoothly as a result: no questions from the team, no negative feedback. During the rollout and in day-to-day operation, our payroll team could be reached at any time. That combination of a platform and people you can reach was what decided it for ServiceOcean.

The rollout was communicated very well, to the employees too. That went down well with us. And whenever I had a question, someone was always there.

Payroll in half an hour.

The monthly payroll run now takes less than half an hour. Changes are no longer collected but entered straight into Paymira. Their financial effect shows immediately. That makes planning and control much simpler and removes sources of error.

The numbers work on the cost side too: the service costs several hundred francs a month less than the fiduciary, for equal or better service.

I don’t need half an hour a month for the payroll run. I enter a change straight away and see right away what it triggers.

Digital, with people behind it.

For ServiceOcean, the verdict is clear. The company would recommend Paymira above all to organisations that want to set up their payroll administration efficiently and digitally while keeping full control and transparency, and that need real expertise behind them on Swiss specialist topics.

The combination of digital and human is what makes the difference for me. It runs efficiently, I have transparency at all times and control stays with me. I would recommend Paymira.
