Payroll Data Export (PUCS : Procédure unifiée de communication des salaires) enables payroll data to be transmitted in accordance with the standardization established by Swissdec, in collaboration with various partners.
The “Swiss salary standard (ELM)” simplifies procedures, enables correct declarations to be made and reduces administrative work.
It defines a standard for transferring data directly to AHV funds, various insurance companies, the tax authorities of certain cantons, and the Swiss Federal Statistical Office.
The first step is to "Define connection parameters" and check the prerequisites for sending data indicated in the table below.
