quinn is an app-based managed payroll and employment-administration service for private households (Home) and companies (Business) who employ people directly. The customer remains the legal employer and sets the terms of employment; quinn acts on their behalf and takes legal responsibility for the work it performs — registering the employment with every relevant authority, insurer and pension fund, running the monthly payroll, making the payments, and handling taxes, allowances and special cases such as sickness, accidents and maternity. All of this is automated end to end and delivered through a single app, so employers don't need to operate payroll software themselves or coordinate a traditional fiduciary. quinn is not payroll software, a bookkeeping tool, an employer of record, or a staffing agency — it is the payroll and employment-administration work itself, automated and taken care of. quinn operates in Switzerland, Germany and the United Kingdom, has been running since 2002, and has processed over CHF 1.5 billion in payroll for more than 50,000 employers.
quinn's mission is to make employing someone — whether a nanny, a cleaner, or a company's first team member — as simple as it should be. Employing people directly is currently burdened by registrations, social insurance, payslips, taxes and paperwork that never stop; quinn removes that burden entirely by automating it. Customers tell quinn what they already know — who's working, for how much, insured where — and quinn does the rest: it works out where to register, registers the employment, runs payroll every month, pays salaries, social insurance, pensions and taxes, and handles every case that comes up along the way. The customer stays the legal employer and keeps control; quinn takes legal responsibility for getting the administration right — and because the work is automated rather than done by hand, it costs a fraction of a traditional fiduciary or in-house payroll setup. quinn aims to be the trusted autopilot for payroll and employment administration across Europe, starting in Switzerland, Germany and the UK.
