Document background
The Staff Verification Letter is a crucial document in the Swiss employment landscape, required for various official and administrative purposes. It serves as a formal confirmation of employment status, issued by employers to verify an employee's position, tenure, and other relevant details. The document is governed by Swiss federal law, particularly Article 330a of the Swiss Code of Obligations, which mandates employers to provide such documentation upon request. Staff Verification Letters are commonly requested for visa applications, rental agreements, bank loans, or other situations where formal proof of employment is required. The content and format must comply with Swiss data protection laws and typically includes only information that is necessary and relevant for its intended purpose, with additional details included only with the employee's explicit consent.
