The operational team

You can't do without it!

We have a lot to work on, develop and organise. That is why we count on a team of employees who ensure that our organisation can continue to operate.

Anyone who does something good should also make this transparent. As a young organisation that relies on donations, we want to play a pioneering role in the Swiss NPO landscape. That is why all our salaries are clearly defined and publicly visible.

f.l.t.r.: Linus, Zoltan, Jan, Michael, Tobias, Andri, Alain, Matthew

Status as at 1 September 2025

The above wages are gross wages. A 13th month's salary is paid pro rata at the end of each year. There are no other bonuses with us, but there are other (non-monetary) benefits.

This is how the salary is made up

  • Employment level

    Defined by the intended role, level of training and previous professional experience in the intended work context. More on this in the salary regulations 🙂

  • Area, personnel and location responsibility

    Depending on the area of responsibility, the number of subordinates in the company and whether someone is responsible for a location (operation, management), different wage supplements are added here.

  • Number of years of service

    There is a "loyalty bonus" for every full year of service at wLw. On the one hand, this amount serves to compensate for inflation, but it also rewards employees who have been with the company for longer.

We have a salary cap to prevent salaries from spiralling out of control. This does not apply to allowances for years of service.
