Document background
The Termination Of Employment Contract is a crucial document used in Switzerland when formally ending an employment relationship, whether through mutual agreement, resignation, or dismissal. It must comply with Swiss employment law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (Articles 335-337), and address mandatory requirements regarding notice periods, protection periods, and employee rights. This document serves multiple purposes: it clearly defines the termination terms, protects both parties' interests, ensures legal compliance, and helps prevent future disputes. It includes essential information about final payments, benefit treatments, company property return, and ongoing obligations such as confidentiality. The agreement can be customized based on the employee's seniority, role, and specific circumstances while maintaining compliance with Swiss federal and cantonal employment laws.
