The Offer of Appointment is a crucial document in the Swiss employment process, typically issued after successful completion of the recruitment process and before the formal employment contract. It serves as the initial formal documentation of the employment relationship, complying with Swiss employment law requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO). This document should be used when extending a formal job offer to a selected candidate, providing them with essential information about their prospective employment including position, compensation, benefits, and key terms. While less detailed than the subsequent employment contract, the Offer of Appointment must include all mandatory elements required by Swiss law and should be clear enough to enable the candidate to make an informed decision about accepting the position.
