Document background
The Dismissal Notice Letter is a crucial document in Swiss employment relations, used when an employer decides to terminate an employment relationship in accordance with Swiss law. It must strictly comply with the Swiss Code of Obligations and related employment legislation, which set specific requirements for termination notices, including mandatory notice periods, form requirements, and timing restrictions. The document serves as official written confirmation of the termination, protecting both employer and employee interests by clearly stating the terms of separation. Swiss law requires particular attention to protected periods (such as during illness or pregnancy) and protection against unfair dismissal, making it essential that the Dismissal Notice Letter is properly drafted and timed.
