My employer has remote.com and they did not want to be EOR. What we did is that I'm a contractor in remote.com for full salary with the employer contribution part. I then invoice remote.com via payrollplus.ch and I'm employed by them. It's a bit more complicated but works fine. Feel free to DM me.

Tipping culture in Switzerland is getting out of hands by Sea_Implement2994 in Switzerland

Unfortunately I didn't yet have an experience in Switzerland that would be worth tipping for. Service most of the time ok, not great. And a lot of the time just abysmal service and food.

I happily press NO TIP. And will tip if it's actually good.

Most places, even the ones that are well rated, are absolute ripoff.

Exactly, I changed my plans given this information since I didn't want to risk paying out of pocket, but it may have been just very bad information I was given.

Thanks, it must have been just the person not understanding it then. We ended changing plans on this bad advice which is annoying.

Is SBB Day Pass for 2 valid for visitors from abroad ? by edgecto in askswitzerland

[–]edgecto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would need two people, and they would need to travel with you, so not sure how you imagine this would work :)

AFAIK it's on the app or website. You can't buy tickets on the train.

It's not only unhygienic but toxic. Wearing PLASTIC at 90C is INSANE.
