Advice on labour law
Labour law is a complex matter. It encompasses private law rules (contractual relations between employer and employee, along with the various mandatory rules arising from the Swiss Code of Obligations (Code des Obligations), collective labour agreements and standard employment contracts), public law rules (in particular, the Swiss Federal Labour Act of 13 March 1964, loi sur le travail) in addition to a number of administrative law rules (payroll taxes, tax deducted at source, etc.).
