General Employment Contract — Retail / Salon / Office (Arbeitsvertrag allgemein)

Written employment contract for non-hospitality small businesses (retail, beauty salons, offices, online shops) — Swiss law does not require a written contract (art. 319 ff. OR allow an oral agreement), but article 330b OR requires the Employer to inform the Employee in writing within 1 month of key terms; a full written contract closes this obligation in one step.

Where a German-, French- or Italian-language version of this document is also used, that version prevails in case of conflict.
