Switzerland has a well-developed system of employment and labour law that aims to protect the rights of employees and ensure that employers abide by their legal obligations. For the private sector, the statutory framework for employment and labour law in Switzerland is governed by the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO), which sets out the basic legal principles for employment relationships, including the obligations of employers and employees and the rights and duties of both parties. For employees in the public sector, employment relationships are governed by federal, cantonal and sometimes even communal rules. Special regimes can also apply to employees of diplomatic missions, under certain conditions.
