The Certificate of Employment For Teacher is a crucial document in the Swiss employment landscape, mandated by Swiss labor law and particularly Article 330a of the Swiss Code of Obligations. This certificate must be issued upon request during employment or automatically upon termination of the employment relationship. It serves multiple purposes: providing official documentation of employment history, offering a detailed assessment of professional performance and conduct, and supporting future job applications. The document must balance truthfulness with benevolence, a unique requirement in Swiss law. Educational institutions must ensure these certificates comply with both federal and cantonal regulations, particularly when dealing with public education positions. The certificate typically includes comprehensive information about teaching duties, performance evaluation, social conduct, and reason for employment termination, all while maintaining a constructive and positive tone.
