Document background
The Hourly Employment Contract is designed for use in Switzerland when engaging employees on an hourly wage basis, whether for part-time, temporary, or flexible work arrangements. This document type is essential for businesses operating in Switzerland that need to establish clear terms of employment while ensuring compliance with Swiss federal and cantonal employment laws. It includes provisions for hourly wage rates, working time, social security contributions, insurance requirements, and other mandatory elements required under Swiss law. The contract serves as a fundamental document for protecting both employer and employee interests while maintaining flexibility in working arrangements. It's particularly relevant in today's evolving workplace where flexible and part-time work arrangements are becoming increasingly common.
