Document background
The Conflict of Interest Agreement For Employees is essential in modern Swiss business operations to maintain organizational integrity and comply with legal obligations. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to formalize their expectations regarding employee loyalty and ethical behavior, particularly in situations where personal and professional interests might intersect. Under Swiss law, while the general duty of loyalty is implied in employment relationships through Article 321a of the Code of Obligations, having a specific agreement provides clarity and enforceability. The agreement typically outlines what constitutes a conflict, disclosure requirements, approval processes, and consequences of violations. It's particularly relevant in today's interconnected business environment where employees might have diverse personal interests, investments, or side activities that could potentially conflict with their primary employment duties.
