Document background
The Simple Work Contract is a fundamental legal document used in Switzerland to formalize employment relationships across various industries and position levels. This contract type is specifically designed to comply with Swiss employment law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO) and Swiss Labor Law (ArG), while providing a clear framework for both employers and employees. It is most commonly used for standard employment relationships where specialized terms or executive-level provisions are not required. The document includes all legally required elements of an employment contract under Swiss law, such as position details, compensation, working hours, and notice periods, while remaining adaptable to different business contexts and employment situations. The Simple Work Contract serves as a foundational document that can be easily understood by all parties while ensuring legal compliance and protection of both employer and employee interests.
