Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 2: Travers Smith X MLL Legal - Switzerland
Q: What should employers consider regarding garden leave and pay during the notice period?
Garden leave can be imposed unilaterally in Switzerland, but pay in lieu of notice cannot be imposed unilaterally; mutual agreement or contractual provisions are typically required, and pay considerations interact with protected periods and potential unemployment taxation.
Episode 2: Travers Smith X MLL Legal - Switzerland
Q: How does immediate termination for just cause work in Switzerland?
Immediate termination is possible for serious or repeated misconduct, but the bar is high; it requires a valid reason that makes continuation of the relationship unconscionable, and timing is crucial to avoid liability for damages.
Episode 2: Travers Smith X MLL Legal - Switzerland
Q: What protections exist against dismissal in Switzerland that employers should be aware of?
Dismissals must respect good faith and statutory protections; abusive termination includes targeting protected characteristics or retaliatory firings, and there can be compensation of up to six months' salary for abuses. Protected periods can suspend or void notice (e.g., pregnancy, military service, illness) and some protection is immediate from day one of employment.
Episode 3: Travers Smith X MLL Legal - Switzerland
Q: What is the position on post-termination restrictions and non-competes in Switzerland?
Non-competes are allowed in Switzerland but tightly regulated; they must be reasonable in scope, duration, and geography and tied to protecting legitimate business interests. In practice, 6–12 month durations are commonly enforced, longer periods are rare, and enforceability depends on the employee's access to sensitive information and whether the employee resigned with good cause. Financial consideration can ease enforcement, and contractual penalties help avoid proving damages.
Episode 2: Travers Smith x Al Tamimi - The United Arab Emirates
Q: What practical steps can employers take to resolve termination disputes in the UAE?
Settlement agreements are available and used, but not always the default option due to perceived risk; practical steps include assessing potential liabilities, considering non-monetary terms like extended notice or garden leave, addressing visa/health insurance implications, and weighing commercial settlement versus litigation risk.
