Document background
The Temporary Job Offer Letter is a crucial document in Swiss employment practice, used when companies need to hire employees for a specific duration or project. This document serves as the initial formal agreement between the employer and the prospective temporary employee, establishing the framework for the fixed-term employment relationship. It must comply with Swiss federal and cantonal employment laws, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO) Articles 319-362, which govern employment relationships. The letter typically includes essential information such as employment duration, compensation, working conditions, and mandatory benefits required under Swiss law. This document type is commonly used for seasonal work, project-based assignments, maternity cover, or other temporary staffing needs where the employment relationship has a defined end date.
