Every month, the same documents. Every time, the same time wasted.
Payslips to verify, work certificates to draft, dismissal letters to formulate carefully… For a Swiss SME, these recurring documents represent hours of work every month. Hours that could be invested elsewhere.
The problem isn't just time. It's also risk: an incorrect wording in a work certificate, a forgotten mention in a dismissal letter, and you find yourself exposed to challenges or non-compliance with the Swiss Code of Obligations.
Nectos was designed precisely for this: to eliminate the burden of repetitive documents while maintaining complete control over quality and compliance.
Three documents every SME produces regularly — and that Nectos simplifies
1. The payslip
The monthly payslip is mandatory by law in Switzerland. It must include precise elements: gross salary, AVS/AI/IPG deductions, LPP deductions, withholding tax if applicable. Forgetting an element or miscalculating a deduction can have concrete consequences, both for the employee and the company.
With Nectos, employee data is already in the system. There's no need to re-enter it each time. The document is generated consistently, respecting Swiss legal bases, and can be customized according to your company's specifications.
2. The work certificate
In Switzerland, every employee is entitled to a complete and truthful work certificate (art. 330a CO). This document follows the employee throughout their career. An ambiguous wording or inappropriate tone can damage their professional future — or expose the employer to a challenge.
Nectos offers templates compliant with Swiss best practices, adaptable to the employee's role and situation. The result: a professional, balanced document, ready in minutes.
3. The dismissal letter
It's perhaps the most delicate document. A dismissal letter must respect precise deadlines, indicate the end date of the employment relationship, respect legal protection periods (illness, maternity, military service) and, depending on the situation, include or exclude a reason.
An error in this document can make the dismissal contestable. With Nectos, the process is guided: you enter the key information, the system generates a letter structured according to Swiss labor law standards.
Your data stays in Switzerland. Always.
This point is essential for many Swiss SMEs, particularly in the fiduciary, legal, or healthcare sectors. Nectos is entirely Swiss infrastructure, compliant with nLPD (new Data Protection Act). No data is transferred to foreign servers. No ambiguity regarding compliance.
For managers handling sensitive employee data, it's a concrete guarantee — not just a marketing promise.
How much time do you actually save?
An SME with 15 employees typically produces:
- 15 payslips per month
- 3-5 work certificates per year
- 1-3 dismissal letters per year
- Numerous other administrative documents
If each document requires an average of 30-45 minutes of work (template search, adaptation, verification, formatting), that's several hours per month disappearing into low-value-added tasks.
With Nectos, the same document takes less than 5 minutes. Not because the quality is lower — but because the information is already available in the system and the templates are already compliant.
A tool designed for those who aren't HR experts
Nectos isn't reserved for large HR departments with dedicated teams. It was designed for the SME manager who handles human resources himself, for the fiduciary who supports multiple clients, for the administrative manager who must do everything without making mistakes.
The interface is simple. The templates are ready. Compliance controls are integrated.
You don't need to be a lawyer to produce correct documents. You need the right tool.
