SPTS Portage / Umbrella Payroll

Portage is the status that will allow you to work differently and independently.

Wage Portage (umbrella payroll) is a form of working relationship that emerged in 1985 in Europe and more recently in Switzerland. It facilitates interaction between executives/contractors seeking employment, and companies looking for expertise, audit, advice or training. The status of independent contractor is complex and does not offer any guaranteed income. Opting to use a Wage Portage structure can help address these gaps.

During his/her mission/contract period, the consultant becomes an “employee” of SPTS, which in turn manages all social security contributions, taxes and administrative procedures on his/her behalf.
