Unfortunately, the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR) does not explain this in detail.
Since the legislation is not clear, a practice has developed that can be assumed:
- the own wedding 2 to 3 days
- the death of a family member 1 to 3 days (depending on the degree of relationship)
- the military inspection and recruitment ½ to 1 day
- change of residence 1 day (2 days if the change is over a longer distance).
- visits to authorities: effective absence
The granting of special days depends on the employer and must therefore be discussed with the employer.
