Switzerland Fast Facts
Hiring in Switzerland
Top companies from around the world have recognized the advantages of hiring in Switzerland, but its labor regulations can be complex. Employment relationships in Switzerland are governed by the Swiss Code of Obligations and the Federal Act on Employment Services and the Hiring of Services. These laws outline workers' rights, employer obligations, and procedures for labor disputes.
Additionally, Swiss law places specific regulations on the use of temporary and agency workers. Staffing agencies can provide workers to third-party companies only in cases of temporary, occasional, or transitory tasks. Employers must ensure that these arrangements comply with legal requirements and that agency workers receive equal treatment in terms of compensation and working conditions. Employers are required to provide written employment contracts detailing terms and conditions, including job responsibilities, compensation, working hours, and benefits. Compliance with statutory requirements such as minimum wage standards, social security contributions, and working time regulations is essential.
Because of the complexity of Switzerland's labor and tax laws, compliant employment contracts are a critical business requirement. With Safeguard Global as your partner, you can hire employees in Switzerland with confidence, knowing that every contract meets legal standards. We also provide guidance on cultural expectations and hiring best practices, while helping you stay current with regulatory changes.
Relying on an employer of record (EOR) in Switzerland
An employer of record (EOR) provides an easier way for organizations to hire and pay local talent in Switzerland. Because of its in-country presence, the EOR can employ the workers a company needs and lease them to that company, taking care to comply with Switzerland’s labor laws. As a result, the organization doesn’t have to establish a legal presence or manage compliance in Switzerland.
The EOR can hire and onboard employees in as little as two weeks and manage ongoing responsibilities such as payroll, benefits, and taxes. A full-service EOR can also manage recruitment. Together, these EOR services significantly reduce the administrative burden for an organization.
