Document background
The 4 Week Notice Letter is a formal document used in Swiss employment relationships to initiate the termination of employment with a standard four-week notice period. This document type is particularly relevant under Swiss law, where the Swiss Code of Obligations establishes minimum notice periods and formal requirements for employment termination. The letter serves as official documentation of the termination decision and typically includes the termination date, notice period calculation, final working day, and other relevant details such as outstanding vacation days and company property return requirements. It's commonly used for employees during their first year of service or where a four-week notice period has been contractually agreed upon. The document must comply with Swiss legal requirements while maintaining professional standards and protecting both employer and employee interests during the termination process.
