The Justification For Renewal Of Employment Contract is a crucial document required in Swiss business practice when extending fixed-term employment contracts. It serves to document the legitimate business reasons for contract renewal, ensuring compliance with Swiss employment law and the Swiss Code of Obligations. This document is particularly important as Swiss law carefully regulates the use of consecutive fixed-term contracts to prevent abuse and ensure proper worker protections. The justification should include specific business needs, performance evaluations, and demonstrate that the renewal is not being used to circumvent permanent employment provisions. It becomes especially relevant when multiple renewals have occurred or when the total duration of employment through fixed-term contracts approaches legally sensitive thresholds under Swiss employment regulations.
