Document background
The Notice of Vacation Letter is a standard business document used in Swiss employment relationships to formally request and document vacation time. This document is essential for compliance with Swiss employment law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR), which requires clear communication and documentation of vacation arrangements. The letter serves multiple purposes: it provides formal notification of intended vacation dates, ensures proper planning for work coverage, maintains accurate vacation records, and protects both employer and employee interests. The Notice of Vacation Letter should be submitted according to company policy timeframes and should include all necessary information for proper vacation planning and approval, such as dates, duration, and work handover arrangements.
