Western Europe
Sending workers to Switzerland? Its requirements are built in.
Switzerland expects notice before posted workers arrive, and protects its pay levels through joint committees and the cantons. Obtempera's Swiss template makes both routine.
The template for Switzerland asks for
- Online notification
- A1 certificate
- Generally binding agreement
- Posting expenses
- Permit (non-EU/EFTA)
- + Your own additions
Why Switzerland is complex
Switzerland: notify in advance, then pay to Swiss standards.
Switzerland sits outside the EU but within free movement, so A1 certificates apply, and Swiss pay levels are actively protected.
Notified in advance
Postings from EU and EFTA countries are notified online in advance, and the canton receives the details.
Binding sector agreements
Collective agreements declared generally binding set minimum pay in many sectors, construction among them.
Joint committees check
Joint committees and cantonal tripartite commissions check pay and conditions, and can ask for payslips.
The solution
Ready to go for Switzerland.
Swiss checks can come at any point in a posting, so the Swiss template keeps the evidence behind each worker from the first notification onwards.
- 01 · Notice in good timeThe online notification is requested before work starts, with the canton it went to.
- 02 · The binding agreementRecord the generally binding agreement for the sector, so Swiss minimum terms are clear.
- 03 · Expenses kept separateNote how posting expenses are covered, apart from pay, as Swiss rules expect.
- 04 · Ready for a checkEvidence arrives from each worker's phone and, once reviewed, is ready for a joint committee.

One country included.
Plans each include a country. Switzerland can be that one, or join as an add-on, paying once for its set-up and nothing more in licences.
