Private and public employment law is now characterised by increasingly specific processes and procedures. Consider for example the drafting and adoption of staff regulations as well as the need to apply different procedures (internal inquiries, disciplinary inquiries, negotiations) compared to those used in the past in order to resolve workplace conflicts and disputes. Within this context, both the employers and the employees involved need to have the necessary information and tools.
Moreover, judicial procedures in particular before specialized courts or the “TRIPAC” (Employment Court of the Cantonal Administration) are also becoming more common and even necessary. Indeed issues arising, both individually and collectively, in relation to salaries, leave, working hours, overtime, bonuses, social plans, remote working or unlawful dismissals often do not have a clear-cut answer in certain circumstances, which means that the courts have to rule on the matter.
The firm r&associés, which has a SBA specialist in employment law as well as other specialist lawyers, can provide you with nuanced advice in this field, and can also offer other services for instance in relation to applications for work permits.
