The Swiss wage index, established in 1942, tracks the evolution of gross contractual wages in Switzerland. The standardized gross contractual wage refers to the remuneration specified in an employment contract for a full-time employee. It includes the basic salary, the 13th salary (and any additional salaries, such as a 14th), cost-of-living allowances, holiday pay, and holiday allowances. This figure represents the salary before deductions for social insurance contributions, occupational pension fund contributions, and taxes. Excluded from this figure are family allowances, payments in kind, sporadic salary elements (such as bonuses, premiums, and commissions), the employer’s share of lump-sum benefits or pension contributions, and overtime pay.
