Document background
The Letter of Intent for Job Promotion is a crucial document in Swiss employment practice, typically used when an organization plans to promote an employee to a higher position. This document serves as a formal communication of the intended promotion while allowing both parties to align on key terms before finalizing the employment contract amendment. The letter outlines proposed changes in responsibilities, compensation, and reporting relationships, and may include conditions that need to be met before the promotion takes effect. Under Swiss law, while not legally binding in all aspects, the letter creates certain obligations and expectations between parties. It's particularly important in larger organizations where formal processes are required for internal promotions, and in situations where the promotion involves significant changes to employment terms.
