Employment termination in Switzerland
Termination process
On paper, Switzerland does practice at-will employment, in which the employer or employee may end the relationship at any time for any reason. However, most companies are more cautious regarding terminations and do provide fair reasoning for any termination. It is important for employers of workers in Switzerland to maintain accurate documentation of termination processes.
Notice period
While Switzerland has at-will employment, notice periods are common in employment contracts. Notice periods generally range from one to three months depending on seniority, tenure, and industry. Notice period must be at least one month for employee who has worked for a year or more.
Severance pay
Severance pay is not required in Switzerland, unless stated in the employment contract or the employee is over the age of 50 and has worked for the same employer for more than 20 service years.
Probation periods
