Digital workflows for the modern labour union
With around 30'000 members, syndicom is one of the largest labour unions in the Swiss Labour Union Federation SGB and represents employees and self-employed workers in 15 industries with a focus on logistics, ICT and media. The successful implementation of a tailored software solution by braintec based on Odoo supports the union in its core processes and in member services.
- The manual handling of complex collective labour agreements (CLAs) for internal and external members has been digitalised, standardised and simplified.
- Member administration now automatically handles accounting with different time periods and contract types, contribution billing and refunds.
- Member communication is enabled through email marketing as well as integration of finance, accounting and internal time tracking for task and resource management.
Automated CLA processing for Swiss companies
Collective labour agreements (CLA) in Switzerland are concluded between employers or employer associations and employee associations (labour unions) to regulate working conditions. Both sides pay a fee.
The solution from braintec on Odoo software automates this process and makes the reimbursement of contributions simple and clear while ensuring transparent oversight and communication of refund entitlements.
Functions of CLA billing
Validation: Automatic matching of member data and CLA coverage via CRM.
Fee charging: Automatic calculation and posting of contribution deductions and refunds.
- Employers: Fees charged for CLA handling.
- Members: Contributions deducted from wages that can be reclaimed.
Reconciliation of members' entitlement to refund based on:
- Membership period
- Period of employment with GLA employer
- Periods already credited
- GAV agreement between trade union and employer
