Arbeitsrecht in der Schweiz

The fifth, expanded edition of the textbook "Labour Law in Switzerland" has been supplemented with the latest doctrine and case law and integrates the numerous innovations at the legislative and ordinance level. As in the previous edition, international aspects have been included to a greater extent, particularly in the area of secondment and other cross-border issues. Adequate space is given to explanations on how to deal with coronavirus under labour law; topics covered include vaccination and testing obligations, protection of particularly vulnerable employees, continued payment of wages, employer default and other controversial issues. The focus is on individual employment contracts. However, collective labour law and employee protection under public law are also covered. There is also an overview of social security law. The employment relationship under public law is only dealt with in passing. The book contains an updated collection of cases and questions. It addresses frequently occurring labour law problems and provides solutions. It is therefore suitable as a basis for self-study and is a valuable aid for solving labour law problems.

This work is intended to appeal to students at universities and universities of applied sciences, but also to serve as a guide to labour law for HR managers in companies. It enables the reader to acquire a sound knowledge of Swiss labour law and to find the relevant knowledge for answering labour law questions within a short period of time.
