The Employee Medical Certificate For Sick Leave is a crucial document in Swiss employment relationships, required when employees are absent from work due to illness or injury. Under Swiss law, specifically Article 324a of the Code of Obligations, employers may request medical certification of absence, typically required after the third day of illness. The certificate serves multiple purposes: it validates the employee's claim for sick leave, supports salary continuation payments, provides documentation for insurance claims, and helps employers manage workforce planning. While maintaining medical privacy, it must contain sufficient information for administrative purposes, including the duration and degree of work incapacity. The document follows strict Swiss data protection guidelines regarding sensitive medical information and must be issued by a licensed medical professional.
