Document background
The Joining Letter For Job is a crucial employment document used in Switzerland when formally hiring new employees. It serves as the primary document establishing the employment relationship and must comply with Swiss employment law, particularly Articles 319-362 of the Swiss Code of Obligations. This document is typically issued after successful completion of the recruitment process and acceptance of a verbal or written offer. It includes mandatory employment information such as parties' details, position, compensation, working hours, leave entitlements, and social insurance arrangements. The letter must be drafted in compliance with Swiss employment regulations, including cantonal requirements where applicable, and often references additional company policies and procedures. It forms the basis of the employment relationship and serves as a key reference document throughout the employment period.
