Document background
The Company Transfer Letter is a vital document used in Swiss business operations when an employee's employment relationship needs to be transferred from one company to another, typically due to corporate restructuring, mergers, acquisitions, or internal reorganizations. This document, regulated by Swiss employment law, particularly Article 333 of the Code of Obligations, ensures transparency and legal compliance in the transfer process. It serves multiple purposes: formally notifying the employee of the transfer, confirming the continuation of employment terms and conditions, outlining any changes to working arrangements, and ensuring compliance with Swiss legal requirements regarding employee rights during business transfers. The letter must be carefully drafted to address all necessary legal aspects while remaining clear and understandable for the employee, as it forms part of their employment documentation.
