Remote's Benefits Practices

Remote supports our clients by offering competitive benefits packages that will help you attract and retain the best talent across the globe! Our benefits specialists have done the research on norms and requirements in each local market and have crafted packages that will allow your employees to thrive, no matter what country they live in.

We do not require customers to offer health benefits in Switzerland due to its strong public system and local laws that protect us (and you!) against claims of non-discriminatory hiring practices. However, we do recommend that employers offer benefits to their employees, which allows them to access a wider range of options for providers and specialists as well as significantly shorter wait times. Our plans also offer global coverage (excluding the US) to protect your employees when they are traveling outside their home country. We do not add a markup on any benefits premiums or administration costs.

Understanding Hiring in Switzerland
  1. Switzerland’s healthcare system includes both a universal public system and a private system. It is globally renowned, with highly qualified doctors and short wait times. In order to access it, residents are required to have at least basic health insurance, paid for through individual contributions. Many residents also have supplementary private health insurance, typically provided through their employers.
  2. We do not require customers to offer health benefits in Switzerland due to its strong public system and local laws that protect us (and you!) against claims of non-discriminatory hiring practices.

Our plans also offer global coverage (excluding the US) to protect your employees when they are traveling outside their home country.

  3. You will be able to select a benefits plan when onboarding your employee (if you choose to offer health benefits). From there, the employee will be enrolled and contacted with more information about their plan. Remote takes care of all the administration work so you can focus on scaling your global team!
