Geneva employers: telework days for staff living in France
In short: BorderDay helps Geneva employers log telework, on-site and trip days for people who live in France and work in Switzerland. Tax: up to 40% telework and 10 temporary mission days (ge.ch / ESTV). Social security: framework bands under 25%, 25% to under 50% (A1), and 50% or more. Employer telework-rate duty: first AFC transmission planned for January 2027 for 2026 data. Not tax or legal advice.
FAQ
Does BorderDay replace the AFC telework-rate filing?
No. It keeps a working day log so HR can prepare figures. The annual attestation remains the employer’s filing under ge.ch rules.
Which border route should Geneva staff living in France pick?
The Geneva / non-1983 cantons←France pack (geneva_fr): 40% telework, 10 mission days, and the shared social-security framework counter.
Do you track employee location?
No. Employees log a day type and optional overnight-away yes/no. HR never sees GPS or device coordinates.
What does the social-security 50% counter mean?
Under the framework agreement, telework in the residence state of 50% or more of working time generally means residence-state social security; between 25% and under 50% an A1 is normally needed. BorderDay shows those bands separately from tax.
Is this tax or legal advice?
No. It is a tracking tool with counters based on public sources linked on this page and in the app. Confirm with your adviser or authority.
