IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Switzerland will extend job notification requirements to additional positions beginning Jan. 1.
What does the change mean? Employers will have to advertise jobs that are subject to the notification requirement through Switzerland’s Public Employment Service for five days before other job candidates can access the job notifications. The jobs that will be added to the list in 2021 are largely in sale and marketing, the service industry and construction.
Background: Under a change that took effect Jan. 1, 2020, employers in Switzerland are required to advertise open jobs for occupations where unemployment exceeds 5%. Because of COVID-19, unemployment rose above 5% in a number of occupations in Switzerland. The jobs that will be added to the list in 2021 are:
Analysis & Comments: The advertising requirements are part of Switzerland’s ongoing efforts to promote Swiss workers, particularly in jobs with high unemployment. Because of COVID-19 the number of jobs subject to this requirement will increase in 2021. The changes will likely have minimal impact on employers in high-skilled industries, however.
