Employment agreements FAQ

The questions founders and HR managers ask us most before drafting their first agreement.

An employment agreement establishes the work relationship between the employer and the employee. It describes the services the employee will deliver and the conditions under which they will work. It also covers questions of liability, confidentiality, and termination rights.

The most important aspect is the scope of employment. You also need to decide whether the employment should be fixed-term or open-ended, whether to include a non-compete and non-solicitation clause, and whether to include a bonus model. It is important to draft the agreement so that both parties benefit, while keeping mandatory Swiss labour law requirements in mind.

Swiss law does not require employment agreements to be in writing in most cases — but having a written agreement protects both employer and employee and prevents disputes. Certain elements, such as non-compete clauses and probation periods longer than one month, must be in writing to be enforceable.

With our flat-fee package, we can deliver a tailored employment agreement within 3–5 business days for standard matters. For urgent situations, speak to us and we will do our best to accommodate your timeline. If you need something immediately, our free employment agreement generator is available right now.

The CHF 650 flat-fee package covers strategic planning and structure set-up, drafting a bespoke employment agreement tailored to your company's needs, and one feedback round where we jointly go through the agreement and incorporate your adjustments. It also includes an overview of the most important HR basics.

Yes. Our free employment agreement generator is a great starting point for early-stage companies or straightforward situations.
