Document background
The 1 Week Notice document is a crucial employment termination instrument in Swiss employment law, primarily used during probationary periods or in specific short-term employment situations. It serves as a formal written notification that complies with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO). This document is essential when either party wishes to terminate the employment relationship with one week's notice, as permitted by law or contract. It should contain all legally required elements including party details, clear termination declaration, and the final working day. The document's format and content must respect Swiss legal standards while maintaining professional courtesy and clarity. It's particularly relevant in situations where a shorter notice period has been agreed upon in writing or during the probationary period of employment.
