Document background
The Offer Of Employment is a crucial document in the Swiss hiring process, serving as the initial formal agreement between an employer and a prospective employee. It is used when extending employment offers to new hires and must comply with Swiss employment law, particularly Articles 319-362 of the Swiss Code of Obligations. This document traditionally follows successful interview rounds and salary negotiations, representing the formal written offer required by Swiss law. It includes mandatory employment terms such as role description, compensation, working hours, location, and notice periods, while also incorporating references to Swiss social security and insurance requirements. The document forms the basis for the subsequent employment relationship and, once signed, becomes a binding employment contract under Swiss law.
