Document background
The Complaint Letter to Employer is a crucial document in Swiss employment relations, used when formal documentation of workplace grievances is necessary. It serves as an official record of issues ranging from employment contract violations to workplace safety concerns, discrimination, or harassment. This document type is particularly important in Switzerland's highly regulated employment environment, where both federal and cantonal laws provide specific protections and procedures for workplace disputes. The letter should be drafted in accordance with Swiss legal requirements, particularly those outlined in the Code of Obligations and Labor Law, and must maintain professional standards while clearly stating the complaint, supporting evidence, and desired resolution. It often represents a significant step in the grievance process after informal attempts at resolution have been unsuccessful but before escalating to legal proceedings.
