Compensation and salary
Compensation for short-time working is 80% of loss of earnings, i.e. 80% of the percentage of work temporarily lost. The canton pays compensation to the employer, who passes it on to the employees.
The employer may reduce the wage for short-time working to 80% and must pay the net wage on the usual payday.
For the percentage of work retained, the salary is paid by the employer.
In addition, the unemployment insurance covers the employer's social insurance contributions (OASI, disability, etc.) for the hours worked during the short-time working phase.
During their notice period, employees are entitled to their full salary.
People with on-call contracts or highly fluctuating workloads do not receive short-time working compensation.
There is no short-time working compensation for people in training or temporary employees. They are entitled to their full salary.
Employees with temporary contracts, without a contractually agreed termination option, do not receive short-time working compensation. They are entitled to their full salary.
Employees who have not consented to short-time working are entitled to their full salary.
