The obligation to continue to pay wages in the event of illness often leads to disputes between employers and employees. The conclusion of daily sickness benefits insurance instead of the statutory obligation to continue salary payments and the introduction of waiting days further complicate this legal issue.
Conflicts also often arise over the calculation of vacation entitlement after prolonged absence due to illness, the obligation to submit medical certificates or visits to the employer’s medical officers.

Bullying has far-reaching negative consequences for the physical and mental health as well as for the professional and private situation of the victim. Accordingly, the employer is obliged, as part of its statutory duty of care, to prevent bullying or bossing or to take appropriate measures against it.
If the employer breaches this duty of care and instead dismisses the victim or the victim dismisses the employer because the employer fails to act, a court can oblige the employer to pay compensation.
The difficulty often lies in the context of mobbing often lies in establishing the facts of the case so that the allegation of bullying can be substantiated or refuted in a legally sound manner.

A study carried out in Switzerland in 2007 revealed that 28 percent of the women and 10 percent of the men surveyed had felt sexually harassed or disturbed by such behavior in the course of their working lives.
As a result of social sensitization, more cases of sexual harassment in the workplace are to be expected.
Insofar as the employer is obliged to act within the scope of its duty of care, but at the same time there are criminally relevant accusations in which the presumption of innocencemust notbe violated , the employer is regularly in a dilemma when it comes to allegations of sexual harassment in the company.
This must be countered in particular by suitable organizational measures and processes. Ideally, these should be anchored preventively at regulation level, i.e. before incidents occur.

Labor law is basically contract law. At the same time, however, labor law is comprehensively regulated by mandatory legal provisions, primarily for the protection of employees.

As part of our work, we interpret the contractual provisions correctly and work towards the correct enforcement of the mandatory legal provisions in the interests of our clients.

Two team leaders of a retirement and nursing home drew the management’s attention to the unacceptable behavior of the nursing service management. Contrary to their promises, however, the home management did not conduct a suitable mediation, but instead dismissed the two employees, who were subsequently represented by us. The case attracted local media attention.
In a process lasting several years, we defended the interests of the employees through two court instances. and successfully sued for compensation of three months’ wages each. The ruling was unsuccessfully appealed by the other side to the High Court of the Canton of Zurich.
An SME we represented in the financial sector had the following in its employment contract with a customer advisor a non-solicitation clause with a contractual penalty. Such a non-solicitation clause goes less far than a general non-competition clause. Due to the lower level of intrusion, a customer non-solicitation clause is generally more successfully enforceable in law than a non-competition clause.
After termination of the employment contract, the customer advisor all previous customer relationships by another employee of his new employer . The contact attempts via the new employer were so widespread that there was no doubt before the competent court, based on the written statements obtained from the customers contacted, that there had been a breach of the ban on soliciting customers. Accordingly, the other party was ordered to pay the contractual penalty of CHF 50,000 before the competent district court.
