Work certificate for your domestic help in a few minutes

If your domestic help asks you for a work certificate, many questions may arise. What must it contain? How do I ensure that I comply with all legal requirements? These and other questions may be of concern to you, especially if you have never written a work certificate before.

According to the law (Art. 330a CO), the employee can demand a work certificate from the employer at any time. The certificate may be issued during the employer-employee relationship in the form of an interim certificate or at the end of the employment as a final certificate. Consequently, the domestic help employed is entitled to a work certificate at any time, even if it is only an interim report. However, writing such a certificate can be very time-consuming and tedious. Of course, we are happy to support you.
