Document background
The Job Description Form is a fundamental document used in Swiss employment contexts to clearly define and document the parameters of a specific role within an organization. It serves multiple purposes: as a recruitment tool, a performance management reference, and a legal document that forms part of the employment relationship. Under Swiss law, while not explicitly required by statute, a detailed job description helps ensure compliance with various employment regulations and provides clarity regarding the scope of employment. The document typically includes essential information about the position, including duties, responsibilities, reporting relationships, required qualifications, and working conditions, all structured to align with Swiss employment law requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR) and federal workplace regulations.
