Document background
The Early Retirement Letter Due To Personal Reasons is a critical document in Swiss employment relations that formalizes an employee's decision to retire before reaching the standard retirement age. This document is typically used when an employee decides to end their career early due to personal circumstances such as health, family obligations, or lifestyle choices. Under Swiss law, particularly the Federal Law on Occupational Retirement and the Swiss Code of Obligations, such requests must be properly documented and processed. The letter serves multiple purposes: it officially notifies the employer of the retirement intention, establishes the proposed retirement date, acknowledges understanding of the financial implications, and ensures compliance with legal notice periods. It forms part of the employee's permanent record and initiates the process for pension and benefits calculations under Swiss social security regulations.
