1. POSITION AND PLACE OF WORK 1.1. The Employee is hired for the position of "✓Position", starting Start date, at Place of work.

2. WRITTEN INFORMATION DUTY (ART. 330b OR) 2.1. Swiss law does not require an employment contract to be in writing — an oral agreement is valid (art. 319 ff. OR). However, article 330b OR requires the Employer to inform the Employee in writing, within 1 month of the start of an open-ended or >1-month engagement, of: the identity of the parties, the start date, the function, the wage and any wage supplements, and the weekly working time. This written contract satisfies that duty in full.

3. REMUNERATION 3.1. Remuneration basis: Salary / rate. 3.2. Hours: Hours per week hours per week.

4. PROBATION PERIOD 4.1. Probation period (art. 335b OR — the statutory maximum probation period is 3 months).

7. SECTOR-SPECIFIC GAV 7.1. Applicable sector collective agreement (Gesamtarbeitsvertrag "GAV"), if any: Applicable sector GAV, if any. 7.2. ⚠️ Some sectors have their own generally binding GAV — for example, the Coiffeur-GAV is allgemeinverbindlich and sets its own minimums for hairdressing salons. Check whether a sector GAV applies before relying on OR minimums alone.

8. CANTONAL MINIMUM WAGE 8.1. Cantonal minimum wage check 8.2. ⚠️ The cantons of Geneva, Neuchâtel, Jura, Ticino, Basel-Stadt and others have introduced their own statutory minimum wage, which can be higher than any GAV/CCNT minimum — verify against the canton of the workplace, not just the Employer's registered seat.

9. LANGUAGE 9.1. Issued in English for the Employee's understanding; a parallel German/French/Italian version, matching the canton's language, is recommended and prevails in case of conflict.
