Outsourcing: The advantages of wage portage

In today’s flexible and efficient working environment, companies are constantly looking for innovative solutions to meet their staffing needs.

Using outsourced workers has become common practice, but choosing the right method for integrating them into your business can make all the difference.

That’s where MITC comes in.

Wage portage with MITC, temp agency or recruitment service?

Many companies ask us why they should use MITC’s wage portage (portage salarial) solution rather than going through a temp agency or a recruitment agency.

If you are planning to use an agency for your recruitment, the answer is simple:

MITC, as a wage portage/Payrolling company, offers a unique and complementary approach for companies looking to hire external workers for a fixed or indefinite period. Unlike traditional recruitment agencies, we don’t do the actual recruiting.

We focus on offering a complete administrative and contract management solution for self-employed workers and consultants. This means that companies don’t just ‘hire’ a workforce; they partner with an expert capable of managing all the complexities associated with hiring self-employed consultants or professionals on specific assignments in Switzerland.

Workers under wage portage are employed by MITC and are therefore not included in your payroll. They are more independent and play more of a ‘consultancy’ role for missions of varying duration requiring specific and spontaneous expertise.

We won’t go into all the details in this article, but to cut a long story short, remember that using MITC instead of a temp agency means an average saving of 15% for a quality service and better conditions!

6 reasons to choose MITC’s wage portage solution

1. Control of the payroll

If your company has recently stepped up its recruitment efforts and wants to stabilise its payroll, MITC’s wage portage may be the ideal solution for continuing to meet your staffing needs without having to increase your payroll costs. Remember, workers under wage portage are employed by MITC and therefore do not count towards your payroll.

2. Savings on employers’ contributions

By opting for MITC’s wage portage, you avoid increasing your employer’s contributions because you won’t have to bear the usual social security charges associated with hiring new employees directly. We take care of the administrative aspects of employment, enabling you to reduce your costs while benefiting from a flexible and skilled workforce.

3. Project-based recruitment

If your company needs reinforcements for specific projects, MITC’s wage portage offers unrivalled flexibility. You can recruit skilled temporary workers (and choose them) for the exact duration of the project, without making a long-term commitment. Wage portage allows you to manage your human resources more flexibly and adapt more quickly to changing business needs.

4. Improved conditions for talents

By working with MITC, you are indirectly offering your external workers above-average social conditions. This includes competitive remuneration and comprehensive social protection, which can help you attract and retain the best talent on the market. In fact, a recent study shows that MITC has the best offer on the market for consultants under wage portage, thanks to our social protection and our capped offer.

5. Significant financial savings

On average, companies that choose MITC’s wage portage save between 15 and 30% a year on their labour costs. These substantial savings are the result of a number of factors, including the absence of employer charges, the reduction in costs associated with HR management, and the time saved in managing these administrative tasks.

6. Promoting know-how

By opting for MITC’s wage portage, you are also helping to perpetuate the know-how within your company. You are offering seniors and retirees an opportunity to continue working while benefiting from a supplementary income, which can be beneficial not only for these seniors, but also for your company. Indeed, you benefit from rare expertise acquired throughout their careers, at a reduced cost.

In conclusion, MITC’s wage portage offers an advantageous solution for companies looking to work with temporary/independent workers. We enable you to benefit from a flexible, competent and cost-effective workforce, while helping you to control your costs and make the most of your talents.
