Document background
The Statement Letter For Work is a fundamental document in Swiss employment relations, required under Article 330a of the Swiss Code of Obligations. Employees have the legal right to request this document at any time during or after their employment. The letter serves multiple purposes, including job applications, visa applications, rental agreements, and bank loans. It must provide accurate information about the employment relationship, including the duration of employment, position held, and primary responsibilities. The document should be written in a truthful and benevolent manner, following Swiss legal principles. It's particularly important in Switzerland's multinational business environment, where such documentation often needs to meet both national and international standards for employment verification.
