计)内;或

During these termination protection periods the employer is obliged to pay
the salary for a limited period of time which has been determined by courts
to range slightly below the length of the applicable termination protection
period, but with respect to military service and pregnancy, social security
has stepped in, covering the continued pay obligation in whole or in part
(depending on the amount of the relevant salary). Sickness and accident
leave insurance covering 80% of the salary during a maximum of 720 days
of sickness, or accident leave within a period of 900 days is customary;
premiums are usually borne in equal shares by the employer and the em-
ployee.

- Low Unionisation
工会化程度低
Swiss unions negotiate collective employment agreements improving statutory
working hours, holiday leave entitlements, notice periods and retirement
matters, and introducing minimum wages. Nevertheless, the results are as a
rule moderate, as the unions’ bargaining power is limited. In 2009, only
about 16% of all gainfully employed persons were unionized 15 and in 2011
only about 20.9% of employees who were full-time – or working at least 50%
of full time hours – were employed under collective employment agreements

瑞士工会进行集体劳动协议谈判,要求改善法定工作时间、带薪休假权、通知期及退
休事宜,并要求引进最低工资制度。不过,由于工会的谈判力有限,谈判结果通常十分
温和。2009 年,仅有 16%的就业人员加入了工会(数据来源:瑞士联邦数据统计局);
2011 年,仅有约 20.9%的全职雇员或者工作时长超过 50%全职工作时间的兼职雇员加
入了集体劳动协议(数据来源:瑞士工会联合会)。

Switzerland not only has one of Europe’s most liberal labor laws, it also has
one of Europe’s highest labor productivity rates, which is due to: (i) 41.6 average

hours (2010) 18 ; (ii) statutory holiday leave entitlements of, as a rule, four
