FAQ: Frequently asked questions about employee regulations
Employee regulations are a document in labor law and the provisions of these regulations relate to working hours, probationary periods, notice periods, wage payments, allowances and further training, among other things. They are an integral part of the employment contract and ensure transparency throughout the entire employment relationship.
During the probationary period, the employment relationship can be terminated by either party at any time, in accordance with the employment contract or the provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations. The notice period during this period is at least one week. During the employment relationship, the employer assesses the performance and conduct of the employee. If management makes a judgment about performance and conduct, this can lead to termination. This makes it clear that the probationary period is also an important phase for the employee.
The employee regulations stipulate whether the salary will continue to be paid in full or in part. There is an entitlement to continued payment of salary if an employee is absent due to illness or accident. An employee may also be required to undergo a medical examination by a doctor appointed by the employer. In this case, the provisions of the Federal Law on Accident Insurance apply.
The regulations describe the obligations arising from the employment relationship and the protection of their rights. This includes that gifts or other benefits may not be accepted if they impair the employee's position. Insurance premiums or compensation for 16 weeks of maternity leave may also be regulated. In any case, the rules apply equally to all affected employees.
