Document background
The Employment Termination Policy serves as a crucial governance document for organizations operating in Switzerland, providing a structured framework for managing employment separations in compliance with Swiss employment law. This policy is essential for ensuring consistent and lawful handling of employment terminations, whether they are voluntary resignations, dismissals, or mutual agreements. It incorporates requirements from the Swiss Code of Obligations, Federal Act on Gender Equality, and other relevant legislation, while addressing practical aspects such as notice periods, final settlements, and post-employment obligations. The document is designed to protect both employer and employee interests while minimizing legal risks and maintaining professional standards throughout the termination process.
