The Staff Employment Confirmation Letter is a crucial document in Swiss employment relationships, typically issued when there's a need to formally document the current status of employment terms or when significant changes occur in the employment relationship. This document, while less comprehensive than the initial employment contract, serves as an official record and reference point for both employer and employee. It reflects the current terms of employment as governed by Swiss law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR/CO) and related employment legislation. Common scenarios for issuing such a letter include confirming salary adjustments, documenting role changes, supporting visa applications, or providing proof of employment for financial institutions. The letter must be precise, compliant with Swiss employment law, and clearly state the current terms while referencing the original employment agreement.
