Unemployment insurance
Unemployment insurance (ALV) ensures that salary continues to be paid in the event of unemployment and helps those out of work be reintegrated into the job market. Persons in gainful employment in Switzerland (excluding the self-employed) are insured against unemployment.
Contributions towards unemployment insurance are mandatory, with half the contributions being deducted directly from your salary and ETH Zurich making up the other half as the employer.
Our salary calculator can help you calculate the ALV contributions that will be deducted from your salary.
