Document background
The Termination Without Cause Letter is a crucial document in Swiss employment relations, used when an employer decides to end an employment relationship without specific misconduct or performance-related reasons. Under Swiss law, employment can be terminated by either party without requiring specific justification, provided proper notice is given. This document must comply with the Swiss Code of Obligations, respect mandatory notice periods, and include specific information about the termination date, final payments, and other entitlements. It's essential in situations where the termination is due to general business decisions, reorganization, or other non-specific reasons. The letter serves as official documentation of the termination decision and outlines the next steps in the employment conclusion process.
