Salary, contract, working conditions: here are the main types of conflict faced by employees in Geneva, and how legal protection helps in each case.
Late payment, overtime not recorded or not paid, contractual bonuses not paid. Swiss employment law strictly governs payment deadlines and proof of hours worked.
A change of role, workplace, hours or salary imposed without the employee's agreement. Such a change may, in some cases, amount to a change dismissal requiring the dismissal rules to be observed.
Disputes over the length of protection against dismissal during incapacity for work, disagreement over salary continuation, and the handling of medical certificates.
