Download a Swiss employment agreement with an explanatory note to help you adapt it to your company or personal needs. All the adaptable parts of the contract are indicated in the document to enable you to personalize it. The explanatory note gives you precise instructions on how to complete the document according to your needs.

Under Swiss law, employment agreements do not have to be in writing. It is therefore possible for an oral agreement to be valid. Nevertheless, it is strongly recommended to use a written agreement, for reasons of proof and transparency.

The main elements to be taken into account when signing an employment agreement include the duration of the agreement, working hours (full-time or part-time) and schedules, remuneration (salary, bonus, commission, overtime, etc.), vacations and leave, applicable conditions in the event of incapacity to work, and conditions for terminating the agreement. In some industries, union employment agreements apply, and it is mandatory to refer to them.

Our employment agreement is supplied in .doc (word) format, allowing you to adapt it to your needs. A detailed explanatory note is supplied with the agreement to help you understand the parts of the document that depend on the choice of the parties, and to complete them in a way that is specific and adapted to the situation.
