Once employees are set up, the monthly payroll run takes less than a minute. Bill Alps computes social contributions (AHV/AVS, AC, BVG/LPP, NBU, daily sickness), withholding tax and family allowances automatically.

Option A — Single payslip

  1. Open the Payslips menu.
  2. Click New payslip.
  3. Select the employee and the month.
  4. Add any variable elements: overtime, bonus, meal allowance, absences.
  5. Review the summary (gross, contributions, tax, net payable).
  6. Click Generate PDF.

Option B — Monthly batch

When all employees have a stable salary, the batch is fastest:

  1. From the payslips list, click Generate monthly batch.
  2. Pick the month.
  3. Bill Alps pre-fills one payslip per active employee.
  4. Adjust variable elements per employee if needed.
  5. Click Validate batch: all PDFs are generated at once.

Pre-send check

  • Gross total matches the expected amount.
  • Contributions are consistent with prior months.
  • Withholding tax applies only to liable employees.
  • Net payable matches the amount you will transfer.

Payslip language

Each employee can receive their payslip in their own language. The setting lives on the employee record, Sending preferences blockPayslip language: French, German, English or Italian. By default the payslip follows your account language.

  • Line labels (base salary, AHV/AVS, withholding tax, absences…) are translated.
  • The PDF and the sending email use the same language.
  • The payslip shown in the app, in the employee portal and through the public API stays identical to the PDF.

Distribution

From each payslip you can:

  • Download the PDF for internal filing.
  • Send by email to the employee directly from Bill Alps.
  • Export the batch as a ZIP archive of all monthly PDFs.
