Document background
This document template is specifically designed for situations where both employer and employee agree to end a fixed-term employment contract before its scheduled completion date in Switzerland. The template "Ending A Fixed Term Contract Early" is crucial when parties need to document their mutual agreement to terminate, ensuring compliance with Swiss employment law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations. It's typically used when circumstances such as business restructuring, employee career changes, or mutual agreement to end the relationship arise before the contract's natural conclusion. The document includes comprehensive provisions for financial settlements, continuing obligations, and mutual releases, while ensuring all Swiss legal requirements are met. It's particularly important as fixed-term contracts in Switzerland have specific legal protections and requirements that differ from regular employment contracts.
