[Salary Policy](http://www.wearesequence.ai/en/knowledge/human-resources?hsLang=en#salary-policy) # Configure the CAF Salary Policy in Sequence ERP ## Left menu \> Human Resources \> Salary policy In Switzerland, the **CAF (Family Allowance Fund)** is part of the mandatory social security system and aims to partially offset the costs related to children. Contributions are fully borne by the employer and are calculated on the salary subject to AHV/AVS, with rates varying by canton. The CAF provides for the payment of child and education allowances, which the employer receives from the fund and then pays to the employee via the payslip. Since January 1, 2025, family allowances have been calculated on a pro rata basis according to days worked in the event of entry or exit during the month in the French-speaking cantons. Self-employed workers are also subject to mandatory affiliation and contributions to a CAF. 1\. To complete the CAF salary policy, click on **Human Resources** in the left-hand side menu. ![CAF01](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ressources%20humaines/politique_salariale/CAF01.png?width=670&height=318&name=CAF01.png) 2\. From the displayed options, select **Salary Policy**. ![CAF02](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ressources%20humaines/politique_salariale/CAF02.png?width=670&height=318&name=CAF02.png) 3\. Go to the **CAF** tab. **![CAF03](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ressources%20humaines/politique_salariale/CAF03.png?width=670&height=318&name=CAF03.png)** 4\. Select the **reference year**. ![CAF04b](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ressources%20humaines/politique_salariale/CAF04b.png?width=670&height=318&name=CAF04b.png) 5\. Create the **group** to which the CAF policy applies. This makes it possible to apply specific rules to a set of employees or entities, depending on your organization. ![CAF05](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ressources%20humaines/politique_salariale/CAF05.png?width=670&height=318&name=CAF05.png)   6\. Enter the **group name** and click **Confirm**. **![CAF06](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ressources%20humaines/politique_salariale/CAF06.png?width=670&height=318&name=CAF06.png)**   7\. If your company uses electronic transmission via Swissdec, enable the option **Electronic Salary Declaration (ELM)**. This allows the automatic exchange of payroll data with social insurance institutions. ![CAF07](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ressources%20humaines/politique_salariale/CAF07.png?width=670&height=318&name=CAF07.png)   8\. Then enter the information related to your compensation fund: **Fund Name and Number**, **Member Number**, **Sub-number** (if applicable). ![CAF08](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ressources%20humaines/politique_salariale/CAF08.png?width=670&height=318&name=CAF08.png) 9\. You may **attach the contract** with the compensation fund by uploading the corresponding document (PDF or image). ![CAF09](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ressources%20humaines/politique_salariale/CAF09.png?width=670&height=318&name=CAF09.png) 10\. In the **Contributions** section, you can enter the **Employer Contribution** percentage and, if applicable, the **Employee Contribution** percentage. As a general rule, CAF contributions are fully borne by the employer, but certain specific situations may require a different configuration depending on the canton or the fund. ![CAF10](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ressources%20humaines/politique_salariale/CAF10.png?width=670&height=318&name=CAF10.png) 11\.  Finally, click **Save**. ![CAF11](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ressources%20humaines/politique_salariale/CAF11.png?width=670&height=318&name=CAF11.png) Once the CAF salary policy has been completed, along with all other policies, you will be able to indicate which groups apply specifically to each of your employees, so that the corresponding contributions are correctly applied in their contracts. -
