Commercial Traveller Lease Contracts: Commercial Travellers are considered to be all persons who undertake to negotiate or enter into any business on behalf of the director of a commercial enterprise (Article 347.1 CO). Employment contracts for business travellers must be concluded in writing. Business travellers are required by their employer`s instructions. The termination of the employment relationship must meet certain special conditions (Article 350 CO). Dismissal is considered collective if, within 30 days, the employer dismisses a certain number of workers without any particular individual reason (Article 335d CO). These measures must concern a minimum of: There is no legal national minimum wage in Switzerland. However, the conclusion of the EU-Switzerland bilateral agreement on passenger transport has enabled the authorities to introduce mandatory minimum wages at the sector level, where wage dumping has clearly occurred in sectors that are not generally binding. In the event of an illegal strike, the employer has the right to cancel the employment contract with immediate effect. The employer may claim compensation equal to a quarter of a month`s salary and, if applicable, other damages (s. 337d 1 CO).
Participants in illegal strikes may also be prosecuted. In addition to individual workers, workers` organizations must respond to such strikes according to the associations` rules of responsibility. As a means of resolving labour disputes, strikes play a strictly alternative role in conciliation. A strike is therefore only allowed after the conciliation has failed. It must also respect the commitment to maintain industrial peace. Since noise is a means of putting pressure on social partners to obtain better terms of employment, it can only be used to pursue objectives that can be governed by a collective agreement. Political strikes or strikes to enforce judicial aspirations are therefore illegal. This is why a strike must also be carried out by an organisation capable of concluding collective agreements.
