You're describing a significantly different proposal there: with a basic income, the government doesn't make up the difference of pay up to some threshold, which amounts to a massive marginal tax rate on low income labor and a massive subsidy to employers of low income labor. That's a guaranteed minimum income.
With a basic income, the government gives you the same size check, regardless of if you work and how much. I believe what Switzerland is proposing is a basic income.
