The CVCI family benefits fund each year covers

 

  • 7,000 files
  • 12,000 children
  • 32 million francs in benefits

 

Our fund is active in all of Switzerland. It ensures the precise and rigorous execution of all administrative tasks involved in family allowances:

 

  • The collection of contributions for your entire company
  • The payment of benefits prescribed by law to your employees and yourself.

 

Employers

 

Federal law on family allowances requires all employers to subscribe to a recognized fund.

 

The objective of our fund is to pay the conventional benefits prescribed by law to the personnel of fund members. To achieve this goal we collect the contributions from the employers.
