Document background
The International Employment Agreement is essential for companies establishing employment relationships with international employees under Swiss law. This document is particularly relevant for multinational companies with Swiss operations, companies hiring foreign employees in Switzerland, or Swiss companies employing staff with international elements to their role. The agreement ensures compliance with mandatory Swiss employment law provisions while accommodating international aspects such as cross-border work, mobility, and multi-jurisdiction considerations. It includes comprehensive provisions for employment terms, benefits, social security, and other requirements under Swiss law, particularly the Code of Obligations and related employment legislation. The document is structured to protect both parties' interests while maintaining sufficient flexibility to address various international employment scenarios.
