Document background
The Terminate Employment Letter is a crucial document used in Switzerland when formally ending an employment relationship. It must comply with Swiss employment law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (Articles 335-337), which governs employment terminations. This document is utilized when an employer needs to formally communicate the termination of employment, whether due to resignation, dismissal, redundancy, or mutual agreement. The letter includes essential information such as the termination date, notice period, final payment details, and handover requirements. It serves multiple purposes: legal compliance, clear communication of termination terms, and documentation for both parties' records. The format and content must reflect Swiss legal requirements while maintaining professional standards and protecting both parties' rights.
