Document background
The Confirmation of Offer Letter is a crucial document in the Swiss hiring process, typically issued after successful job negotiations but before the final employment contract. It serves to formally document the agreed-upon terms of employment and demonstrates the company's commitment to hiring the candidate. The document must align with Swiss employment law requirements, particularly Article 330b of the Swiss Code of Obligations, which mandates specific information be provided to employees. The letter typically precedes the more detailed employment contract and includes essential information about the role, compensation, benefits, and working conditions. It is used across all industry sectors and organizational levels, from entry-level positions to executive appointments, and can be customized to address specific requirements such as work permits for foreign nationals or specialized compensation structures.
