Document background
The Employee Transfer Acceptance Letter is a crucial document in Swiss employment practice, used when an employee is moving to a different position, department, or location within the same organization. This document ensures compliance with Swiss employment law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR/CO) Articles 319-362, which govern employment contracts and their modifications. The letter serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the employee's consent to the transfer, outlines any changes to employment terms and conditions, confirms the continuation of employment service, and specifies new role responsibilities. It's particularly important in Switzerland where employment terms must be clearly documented and agreed upon by both parties. The letter typically includes details about the new position, reporting structure, location, effective date, and any modifications to compensation or benefits, while ensuring all changes comply with Swiss labor regulations and cantonal requirements.
