Because Payrolla combines the best of both worlds: the freedom of a freelancer and the purchasing power of a Luxembourg employee. By using our platform, you keep your autonomy while benefiting from a status that maximizes your net income through optimal access to Luxembourg’s social, fiscal, and insurance advantages.
Moreover, in demanding sectors such as finance, many companies refuse to work with freelancers due to liability concerns. With Payrolla, this obstacle disappears: you are an employee, fully covered by our professional liability insurance, giving you access to mission opportunities that are normally unavailable to traditional freelancers.
Finally, thanks to our optimization model (salary, professional expenses, bonuses), you enjoy greater purchasing power than you could achieve as an independent worker. At Payrolla, you earn more, keep more, and gain access to more opportunities.
In Luxembourg, it is a requirement for the employee to inform their employer on the first day of their absence and provide a medical certificate no later than the third day of absence.
At Payrolla, you only work on weekdays (Monday to Friday). Therefore, we do not allow the reporting of sick leave during the weekend or on a public holiday.
Similar to any consulting company, the client company approves the timesheets.
Our EasyTimesheet system allows you to complete this process in under 1 minute, and it's fully automated.
Through your personal account, you don't have to enter your work hours, but only your absences.
It also allows you to view your history at any time.
Payrolla is your employer and approves your leave requests.
However, the client company of your assignment is consulted and informed about each of your requests.
The client company can also track your absence schedule.
During your mission, you are free to use your Payrolla Wallet to increase your purchasing power.
Then, in December, you are free to choose if you want an end of year bonus or keep the funds on your Payrolla Wallet.
After the mission, we reimburse the last expenses introduced and transfer the remaining amount as an end of mission bonus.
Attention: a minimum of 2 months equivalent to the employer cost must remain on your Payrolla's account in order to comply with the legal obligations for the whole duration of your mission.
To ensure the smooth operation and continuous improvement of its platform, Payrolla applies a fixed deduction of €399 per month from the amount invoiced to your client, for the entire duration of your assignment.
This rate—the most competitive in Luxembourg—is designed for one purpose: to guarantee you the highest possible purchasing power.
By keeping a fixed and transparent margin, we maximize your net remuneration and allow you to fully benefit from the social and tax advantages of Luxembourg employee status.
For comparison, traditional consulting firms generally retain between 20% and 50% of your monthly invoicing, which significantly reduces your final income.
With Payrolla, you keep more of your value—every month.
Calculate your net income and purchasing power instantly using the simulator available on our platform.
