Hiring a new employee often starts with the first challenge: the employment contract. This document is the foundation of every employment relationship and must be clear, complete and legally valid. With the quitt Business contract model, you are prepared for all situations and can focus on your core business.

A clear and legally sound contract

A well-drafted contract defines the rights and obligations of both parties. It must also cover situations such as termination, illness or maternity. The goal is a short and understandable contract that still meets the requirements of the Swiss Code of Obligations.

The quitt Business contract model

Many companies rely on standard templates. quitt Business, however, offers a more compact and clearer model tailored to SMEs, combining legal certainty with simplicity.

Employment contract

The individual contract includes only the key points:

  • Employee’s position
  • Start date of employment
  • Workload (employment level)
  • Duration and weekly working hours
  • Gross monthly salary
  • Workplace
  • Trial period
  • Notice period
  • Number of weeks of vacation
  • Confidentiality obligation
  • Procedure for contract amendments
  • The contract refers to the company regulations and expense policy, which apply to all employees.

Company regulations

This document supplements the contract. It covers occupational pension plans, insurance, family allowances and workplace conduct. It can also specify working hours, overtime compensation, minimum breaks and public holidays.

For home office or work abroad, it is advisable to define who provides the equipment, who covers additional costs (Internet, electricity, insurance), and how data confidentiality is ensured.
