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.

Variable elements

Overtime and one-off bonuses are added line by line. Each item is correctly subjected to contributions based on its nature (AHV-liable, BVG-liable, etc.).

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.

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.

What about year-end?

The 12 monthly payslips automatically feed the annual salary certificate (Form 11 / Lohnausweis). One click in January to generate it.
