Document background
An Authorization Letter For Employee Verification is a crucial document in the Swiss business environment where employment verification requests are common for various purposes such as visa applications, mortgage approvals, or new employment opportunities. This document type is specifically designed to comply with Swiss federal and cantonal laws, particularly focusing on data protection requirements under the FADP/DSG and employment regulations under the Swiss Code of Obligations. It provides a formal mechanism for employees to authorize the release of their employment information while maintaining control over their personal data. The document becomes necessary when third parties require verification of employment details, and it helps organizations manage these requests in a compliant and structured manner. The authorization letter typically includes specific provisions about what information can be shared, the duration of the authorization, and how the information should be handled, ensuring all parties involved adhere to Swiss privacy and data protection standards.
