Document background
A Job Cancellation Letter is a crucial document in Swiss employment relationships, used when either the employer or employee wishes to terminate the employment contract. This document must strictly adhere to Swiss employment law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR), which requires written notice and specific content elements. The letter should be used whenever a permanent employment contract is being terminated through regular notice (as opposed to mutual agreement or immediate termination for cause). It must include clear identification of parties, explicit termination statement, notice period, final working day, and information about final settlements. The timing of delivery is crucial as it affects the notice period calculation under Swiss law.
