Simplify Workforce Compliance Under Swiss Labour Laws

Time tracking, scheduling, and payroll that align with Switzerland’s employment rules — from Zurich to Geneva and beyond.

Complying with Swiss Employment Laws—Without the Complexity

Some of the world’s most organized and employee-focused labor laws are found in Switzerland. Compliance is crucial; it’s required for everything from mandatory consultation rights to regulations pertaining to maternity leave, overtime, equal pay, and notice periods.
To eliminate uncertainty in Swiss compliance, we developed NextGen Workforce. Our platform streamlines workforce operations while maintaining compliance with both federal and cantonal regulations, whether you’re overseeing a financial office in Zug or a hospitality team in Bern.

Track Time Accurately—Across Roles, Shifts & Worksites

Swiss regulations stipulate that all employees should be subject to diligent timekeeping, especially when it comes to the administration of maximum daily and weekly working time, breaks during the working time, and the calculation of overtime.
With NextGen, you can:

Allow employees to take their own time by utilizing mobile, web, biometric clocks, or shared kiosks to clock in/out
Set schedules and working hours by role or type of worker
Automatically track overtime (against the maximums defined by Swiss regulation)
