Document background
A Separation Notice is a crucial document in Swiss employment law used to formally terminate an employment relationship. It must be issued in compliance with the Swiss Code of Obligations and related employment legislation, which set specific requirements for content, timing, and delivery. The document should be used whenever an employer wishes to terminate an employment relationship or formalize a mutual agreement to end employment. The Separation Notice must include essential information such as the termination date, notice period, and final working day, while also addressing practical matters such as the return of company property and final settlements. The document serves as legal proof of termination and helps ensure compliance with Swiss employment law requirements, protecting both employer and employee interests during the separation process.
