(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ Where the scope of ap­plic­a­tion of a stand­ard em­ploy­ment con­tract ex­tends over more than one can­ton, the Fed­er­al Coun­cil is re­spons­ible for is­su­ing it, but oth­er­wise the can­ton is re­spons­ible.

² Be­fore be­ing is­sued, the stand­ard em­ploy­ment con­tract shall be pub­lished in an ap­pro­pri­ate man­ner and a time lim­it set with­in which in­ter­ested parties may sub­mit their com­ments in writ­ing; fur­ther­more, the rel­ev­ant pro­fes­sion­al as­so­ci­ations and pub­lic bod­ies shall be con­sul­ted.

³ The stand­ard em­ploy­ment con­tract comes in­to force once it has been is­sued in ac­cord­ance with the pro­vi­sions gov­ern­ing of­fi­cial pub­lic­a­tions.

⁴ The same pro­ced­ure ap­plies to the res­cis­sion or amend­ment of a stand­ard em­ploy­ment con­tract.
