Document background
The Voluntary Separation Letter is a crucial document used in Swiss employment contexts when both employer and employee agree to terminate their employment relationship by mutual consent. This document type is particularly relevant when parties wish to document a clear, amicable separation outside the standard resignation or termination process. The letter, governed by Swiss employment law and the Swiss Code of Obligations, typically includes essential information such as the agreed termination date, final payment details, benefit arrangements, and any post-employment obligations. It serves as a formal record of the separation terms and helps prevent future misunderstandings or disputes. The document is especially useful in situations where both parties have negotiated specific separation terms or when offering special separation packages.
