Document background
The Employment Registration Form is a mandatory document required under Swiss law for all new employment relationships. It serves as the primary instrument for collecting and recording essential employee information necessary for legal compliance and administrative purposes. This form must be completed at the commencement of employment and includes sections for personal data, social security information, banking details, and various declarations required by Swiss authorities. It ensures compliance with multiple Swiss regulations, including the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), social security legislation (AHV/AVS), and cantonal employment requirements. The form is particularly crucial for maintaining accurate employment records, facilitating proper payroll processing, and ensuring all necessary registrations with relevant authorities are completed. For foreign workers, additional sections capture information required by immigration authorities.
