Document background
The Addendum To Employment Contract is essential when parties need to formally modify specific terms of an existing employment relationship under Swiss law. This document type is commonly used when implementing changes such as promotions, salary adjustments, working hours modifications, or other material changes to employment terms, while keeping the original contract's framework intact. It ensures compliance with Swiss employment legislation, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations and Labor Law, while providing clear documentation of agreed changes. The addendum should be used whenever material modifications to employment terms are required, rather than creating an entirely new employment contract, as it maintains the continuity of the employment relationship while formally documenting specific changes.
