There are a variety of employment agreement types in Switzerland and each contract needs to be tailored individually. In order to prevent risky inconsistencies and incertainties we draft professional full and part time agreements, topmanagement contracts as weil as employee handbooks including regulations about expenses, flexible working time, use of internet and private devices etc.
Some important clauses in an employment agreement are the following:
The term of notice periods depends on some prerequisites such as the term of the employment etc. After the probation period, employment contracts often provide between 2-3 months.
Apart from issues regarding salary, bonus or sick pay parties to an employment agreement often disagree about the validity of contractual non-compete (non-soliciation) clauses. The validity and enforceability thereof strongly depend on the wordingof the particular clause as weil as other legal requirements such as the written form or thereasons for the termination of the employment.
As working time is not always easy to define, employers and employees often disagree whether there is overtime to be reimbursed. Under certain circumstances, the compensation of overtime may be (partly) excluded by an employment agreement.
