One NovaWage employee record shared by the absence and payroll modules, with no details entered twice

One employee, one record, both modules

Personal, family and tax details are entered once and serve absence and payroll together, with one history behind them.  

Enter it once. The same record feeds both modules, so nothing is keyed in twice. 

One history, not two. Every change stays in a single, centralised file for that employee. 

One login, one platform. Absence and payroll are the same product, not two tools that talk. 

Leave balances that reach the money

Unused leave isn't only days off — it's a figure on your books and a line in someone's final settlement, and Premium works both out for you.  

Your vacation provision, calculated. Leave balances combined with salary data into an accounting-ready provision, so you see the weight of unused leave before closing. 

Final settlements without recalculation. When someone leaves, their balances are factored in automatically and the settlement comes out compliant.

Swiss compliance, canton by canton, checked before it's filed

Three decades of Swiss payroll rules sit inside the system, so the right ones apply without you tracking them and your filing stays audit-ready — the responsibility stays yours, the manual work doesn't.

Smart-Validate checks before anything is transmitted. Entry errors, tax inconsistencies and edge cases are caught while they're still fixable.

Cantonal rules apply themselves. Source tax and labour rules for all 26 cantons, built in and kept current.

Certified and Swiss-hosted. Swissdec 5.0, ISO 27001, nFADP and GDPR.

Top-tier data protection

Prepare for your annual audit hassle-free by accessing a variety of reports, including pay slips, payroll summaries, tax reports, and more. Every change is meticulously tracked in our system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Any question? look here.

We delve into common inquiries we often get when choosing a vendor for human resources software

What is NovaWage Premium?

NovaWage Premium is absence management and payroll on one platform. Your people’s details are entered once and serve both, so leave balances are already in place when you calculate a vacation provision or a final settlement. 

What's the difference compared to buying the two modules separately?

Bought separately, they’re two subscriptions and two employee records to keep aligned. Premium is one platform, one login and one record — and taking both together costs less per employee than the two modules apart.  

Is Premium right for a company of our size?

Yes. Premium is built for Swiss SMEs that want their HR in one place rather than spread across several tools.

Can my employees manage everything from their phone?

Yes. Your team can request leave, check balances, attach a certificate and open their pay slips from the mobile app — or in the browser, if they’d rather.

Is NovaWage Premium compliant with Swiss cantonal specifics?

Yes. Cantonal leave rules and payroll calculations are applied per canton from the first day of leave through to the pay slip.

How is my data protected?

Your data is hosted in Switzerland, on ISO 27001-certified servers. The payroll software is Swissdec 5.0 certified, and we handle your employees’ personal data to Swiss nFADP standards, and to GDPR where your team includes EU residents.
