Umbrella company

The umbrella company is more and more widespread in Switzerland, this method is considered to be another option to entrepreneurship and the risks coming up with it. Freelancers can work for their clients while benefiting from the employee status (health insurance cover, payroll, insurance, retirement …).

WHAT MEANS "UMBRELLA COMPANY"?

An umbrella company can be defined by the three-party relationship between a consultant, a company and AD’Missions. The consultant has an employment contract with the umbrella company. He or she is able to be fully focused on one’s freelancing activities (in the form of projects or assignments) This status is considered to be an alternative to :

Entrepreneurship : you develop your client portfolio and the umbrella company takes care of the administrative management side of your activity
Simple employment : you offer your expertise as a project to companies and you benefit from the employee status.

✅ THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK

The umbrella company legal framework appeared in the 70’s, it was subject to numerous arguments, laws, agreements and orders to be finally legally recognized in France. In Swiss, it is governed by the Federal Act on the Service of Employment and the Leasing of Services. The final text is adopted on October 6, 1989. In article 1, the present law aims to :

Govern the private placement of staff and the hiring services.
Ensure a public employment service that helps to create and maintain a balanced labor market.
Protect workers who use private placement, public employment service or hiring services.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

To sum up, the consultant looks for the assignment and negotiate the terms of it with the client company. Next, the chosen company signs the contract with the umbrella company, the latter can now sign the employment contract with the consultant. The consultant is now covered and can start the assignment.
