Labour Law in Switzerland

Summary

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this
monograph on Switzerland not only describes and analyses the legal aspects of
labour relations, but also examines labour relations practices and developing trends.
It provides a survey of the subject that is both usefully brief and sufficiently detailed
to answer most questions likely to arise in any pertinent legal setting.

Both individual and collective labour relations are covered in ample detail, with
attention to such underlying and pervasive factors as employment contracts,
suspension of the contracts, dismissal laws and covenant of non-competition, as
well as international private law. The author describes all important details of the
law governing hours and wages, benefits, intellectual property implications, trade
union activity, employers’ associations, workers’ participation, collective bargaining,
industrial disputes, and much more.

Building on a clear overview of labour law and labour relations, the book offers
practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. It will find
a ready readership among lawyers representing parties with interests in Switzerland,
and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative
trends in laws affecting labour and labour relations.
