Document background
A Termination Letter To Employer is a crucial document in Swiss employment relationships, serving as the formal mechanism through which an employee initiates the termination of their employment contract. The letter must comply with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the notice periods specified in the Swiss Code of Obligations (typically 1-3 months depending on length of service) and any additional requirements in the employment contract. This document should be used whenever an employee decides to voluntarily end their employment relationship, regardless of the reason. It should include essential information such as the current date, clear statement of resignation, last working day, and may also include additional elements like handover arrangements or expressions of gratitude. The letter creates a legal record of the resignation and helps ensure a smooth transition process in accordance with Swiss employment law.
