    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Monthly and annual cost of employing a cleaner, nanny, babysitter or carer in a Swiss private household, and the worker's net wage: gross wage, vacation supplement, every employee deduction (AHV/IV/EO, unemployment, accident insurance, withholding tax, BVG) and every employer contribution (incl. the canton's family allowance fund and the compensation office's admin fee). Uses the same engine as Clino's public calculator. Picks the simplified or ordinary procedure from the annual wage. Canton = where the household lives.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_contract_terms" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    What the employment contract of a cleaner, nanny, carer or au pair in a Swiss private household has to say in one canton, from the canton's standard employment contract for household work (NAV / CTT / CNL) and the Code of Obligations: probation and its notice, notice after probation by service year, paid vacation weeks (by age), full-time week, overtime, night and Sunday supplements, paid public holidays, 13th month wage, hours register, maternity leave and sick pay in the first year. Every term carries its article and the instrument's verbatim sentence, and whether a written contract may deviate. Also what must be confirmed in writing (Art. 330b OR) and a link to Clino's free contract generator, prefilled with the figures given. Use it for 'write me an employment contract', 'what notice period applies', 'how many weeks of vacation', 'is overtime paid extra'.

    • The name "get_employer_guide" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Clino's one-page fact sheet for private households, as Markdown, in six languages: when the duties apply (from the first franc), which contributions are due and who pays them, the simplified procedure and its ceiling, minimum wage and working conditions, what happens without registration, and the six steps. Optionally adds one canton's registration route. Free to reuse under CC BY 4.0.

    • The name "get_employment_package" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Everything a Swiss private household needs to employ a cleaner, nanny or carer legally, in one call, from the canton, the weekly hours and the gross hourly wage: the employment plan grouped by deadline (before the first working day, in the first month, every year) with real dates when a start date is given; the monthly and annual employer cost and the worker's net wage with every deduction and contribution; the minimum-wage check at the workplace; the terms the employment contract must contain under the canton's standard employment contract (probation, notice, vacation weeks, supplements, public holidays, 13th month, sick pay), each with its article; the official sources and prefilled clino.ch links (contract generator, calculator, canton guide). Use it when the user wants the complete package or a file to keep; for one question (only the cost, only the minimum wage, only the contract) the single tools answer faster. The output keys are fixed. The workplace must be in the household's canton.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Everything a Swiss household has to do to employ a cleaner, nanny or carer legally, for its own case, in one call: the six steps of Clino's fact sheet in the user's language with real due dates when a start date is given (contract, registration with the compensation office within 30 days, accident insurance from day one, monthly payslip, annual declaration by 30 January, pension fund above the BVG threshold), the canton's sickness-insurance duty with its carve-outs, a minimum-wage check at the workplace, the monthly employer cost and net wage, and prefilled links to a contract template and the calculator.
