The Reference Letter To Whom It May Concern is a mandatory document under Swiss employment law, specifically required by Article 330a of the Swiss Code of Obligations. It is typically issued upon the conclusion of an employment relationship or upon employee request during employment. This document serves multiple purposes: it fulfills the employer's legal obligation to provide a reference, supports the employee's future career opportunities, and provides potential future employers with reliable information about the candidate. The letter must balance three key Swiss legal principles: truth (Wahrheitspflicht), goodwill (Wohlwollenspflicht), and completeness (Vollst��ndigkeitspflicht). The content includes employment duration, position(s) held, main responsibilities, performance assessment, and behavioral evaluation. Unlike some jurisdictions, Swiss reference letters must be written in a positive tone while maintaining accuracy and completeness.
