Federal Act
on the Amendment of the Swiss Civil Code
(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ Un­less oth­er­wise provided by agree­ment or cus­tom, the salary must be paid to the em­ploy­ee in leg­al tender dur­ing work­ing hours; a writ­ten salary state­ment must be provided to the em­ploy­ee.

² Where the em­ploy­er holds claims against the em­ploy­ee, he may set them off against the em­ploy­ee’s salary claim only to the ex­tent that such salary claim is sub­ject to at­tach­ment, al­though claims for com­pens­a­tion of in­ten­tion­al dam­age may be set off without re­stric­tion.

³ Any agree­ment whereby the salary must be used for the em­ploy­er’s be­ne­fit is void.
