Document background
The Contract Job Offer Letter is a crucial document used in Switzerland when engaging independent contractors for professional services. It serves as the primary instrument for formally offering contract work and establishing the fundamental terms of the contractor relationship. This document is particularly important in the Swiss context, where clear distinction between employees and contractors is essential for legal and tax purposes. The letter typically includes key elements required under Swiss law such as scope of services, compensation structure, duration, and working arrangements, while explicitly establishing the independent nature of the relationship. It's designed to comply with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Code of Obligations and relevant social security regulations, while providing clarity and certainty for both parties regarding the terms of engagement.
