Document background
The Termination of Employment Letter to Employer is a crucial document in Swiss employment law that formally initiates the process of voluntary employment termination. It must be prepared in accordance with the Swiss Code of Obligations, which mandates specific notice periods and formal requirements for employment termination. This document is used when an employee decides to end their employment relationship voluntarily and needs to provide official written notice to their employer. The letter should include key information such as the effective date of resignation, notice period compliance, and willingness to assist in the transition period. In Switzerland, such letters are typically expected to be professional and concise, while ensuring all legal requirements are met. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides formal notice of termination, establishes the timeline for the employment's end, and creates a written record of the employee's intention to resign.
