Document background
The Promotion Offer Letter is a crucial document used in Swiss employment contexts when an employee is being elevated to a new position within the same organization. Under Swiss law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, any substantial modification to employment terms must be properly documented. This document serves as both a formal congratulatory notice and a legal record of the changed employment terms. The Promotion Offer Letter typically includes details about the new role, adjusted compensation, modified responsibilities, and any changes to benefits or working conditions. It must be crafted to comply with Swiss employment law requirements while maintaining clarity about the new terms of employment. This document is particularly important as it forms part of the employee's permanent employment record and serves as an amendment to their original employment contract.
