Document background
The Employment Separation Form is a crucial document used in Swiss employment relationships to formalize the termination of employment, whether through resignation, dismissal, mutual agreement, or retirement. This document is essential for compliance with Swiss employment law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (Articles 319-355), and serves multiple purposes: it officially records the termination date and terms, outlines final payment arrangements, addresses the return of company property, confirms ongoing obligations, and documents any special arrangements agreed between the parties. The form should be used whenever an employment relationship is terminated in Switzerland, ensuring all legal requirements are met and both parties' rights and obligations are clearly documented. It provides important protection for both employer and employee by creating a clear record of the separation terms and helping prevent future disputes.
