Document background
An Acceptance Letter for an Appointment is a crucial document in the Swiss employment process that formally establishes the beginning of an employment relationship. This document is typically used after an offer letter has been received and the candidate has decided to accept the position. The letter should be drafted in compliance with Swiss employment law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR), and serves multiple purposes: it confirms the employee's intention to join the organization, acknowledges the terms of employment, and provides a written record of the acceptance. The document is particularly important in Switzerland's formal business culture, where written documentation of employment arrangements is highly valued and often legally required. It forms part of the employment documentation and may be referenced in case of future disputes or questions about the terms of employment.
