The Employment Promissory Note is a specialized financial instrument used in Swiss employment relationships when an employee needs to formalize a financial obligation to their employer. Common scenarios include receiving salary advances, agreeing to training cost reimbursement terms, or structuring repayment of other employment-related expenses. The document must comply with both Swiss employment law and financial regulations, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations. An Employment Promissory Note typically includes specific payment terms, interest rates (if applicable), default provisions, and enforcement mechanisms. It provides legal security for the employer while ensuring the employee's rights are protected under Swiss employment law. The document is particularly valuable in situations where significant funds are advanced or when there's a need to formalize repayment terms within the employment relationship.
