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

¹ Dur­ing the pro­ba­tion peri­od, either party may ter­min­ate the con­tract at any time by giv­ing sev­en days’ no­tice; the pro­ba­tion peri­od is con­sidered to be the first month of an em­ploy­ment re­la­tion­ship.

² Dif­fer­ent terms may be en­vis­aged by an in­di­vidu­al writ­ten agree­ment, a stand­ard em­ploy­ment con­tract or a col­lect­ive em­ploy­ment con­tract; however, the pro­ba­tion peri­od may not ex­ceed three months.

³ Where the peri­od that would nor­mally con­sti­tute the pro­ba­tion peri­od is in­ter­rup­ted by ill­ness, ac­ci­dent or per­form­ance of a non-vol­un­tary leg­al ob­lig­a­tion, the pro­ba­tion peri­od is ex­ten­ded ac­cord­ingly.
