About Us

Founder Alexis Weil with his father Ralph

Who is seniors@work?

The idea came to Basel native Alexis Weil when his father retired, even though he still felt fit and young and would have liked to remain active in the job market. seniors@work brings retired professionals with experience of life together with companies and private individuals for jobs and projects.

What is our vision?

We combine the potential of the older generation with the shortage of skilled workers in Switzerland and thus offer a win-win situation for both sides.

seniors@work is doubly attractive for clients!

Placing advertisements and searching profiles is free of charge for all clients. AND: For employees of retirement age, there are no BVG contributions and (almost) no additional wage costs (AHV, ALV, EV/IO).

FAQs - frequently asked questions

Do you need short-term support with a project? Is your company experiencing absence due to illness, accident or vacation? Do you need help with your annual tax return or is your child sick and you have to go to work?

On seniors@work you will find motivated retired professionals who can support you in various areas. To suit your budget.

Finding the right candidates couldn't be easier: you can search for suitable candidates yourself in our profile database and contact them directly. Or you can upload an advertisement and receive applications.

Our professional clients are typically SMEs, start-ups, associations and other smaller organizations looking for flexible, short-term support from (life-long) experienced professionals - usually on a part-time, hourly or project basis. 

We also provide private individuals with competent support for household tasks, childcare as babysitters or nannies for the care of senior citizens. 

seniors@work is suitable for anyone who can do without the lengthy, traditional application process, as candidates can be contacted directly and informally. 

Our retired childcare professionals offer everything from hourly babysitting to extensive and permanent nanny roles. Our candidates care for babies, toddlers and school children, often including homework supervision, household help and care for children with special needs

On our platform you will find substitute grannies, babysitters and nannies for private households as well as experienced childcare workers or supporters for daycare centers and kindergartens. 

All clients can search the profile database free of charge. Placing advertisements and writing to candidates (initial contact) is also free of charge for you. You only pay a fee when you receive responses & applications. You can choose one of three packages with different durations and additional features.

Further information on the pricing models can be found here: www.seniorsatwork.ch/preise-auftraggeber

If you wish, seniors@work can take care of the payrolling for you! Reduce the costs and effort involved in employing retired candidates. For a low fee of just 3% of the gross salary, we will take care of the entire salary and insurance administration for you. You can find more information here: https://www.seniorsatwork.ch/anstellung-eines-senior-talents/ 

Persons who have reached the normal retirement age and are still gainfully employed only continue to pay contributions to the AHV, IV and EO, but not to the unemployment insurance (ALV), once they have reached a certain exemption amount. Further information on: https://www.seniorsatwork.ch/anstellung-eines-senior-talents/

BVG contributions are completely eliminated.

You do not have to pay any contributions for smaller jobs. However, if you hire a senior citizen for a longer period of time or on a recurring basis, you may have to pay social security contributions. You can find more information on the AHV allowance for pensioners here: www.seniorsatwork.ch/anstellung-eines-senior-talents/

As a client, you have access to thousands of retired and motivated candidates. If you want to get to know a candidate better, contact them via our integrated chat and they will write back to you. As simple as a WhatsApp chat.
