Common questions
- What wording does an objection to an abusive dismissal need in Switzerland?
- Little, but the essentials: show in writing that you contest the dismissal itself and want to go on working; no reasons are required (judgment 4A_320/2014). Criticising only the reasons given, or writing in a way that accepts the end of the job, is no objection. If the employer then offers to withdraw the dismissal and you refuse, the right to compensation lapses (BGE 134 III 67). This letter says both and leaves your reasons optional.
- What is the last moment for an objection to reach a Ticino employer?
- The end of the notice period, in writing and with the employer (Art. 336b para. 1 CO): without a timely objection the compensation is lost even if the dismissal was abusive. Post the letter registered in good time, or hand it over against a receipt signed on your copy. It is signed by hand or with a qualified electronic signature, since an ordinary e-mail is not written form. A dismissal during a protected period, for instance of illness, is void instead (Art. 336c CO), and summary dismissal without good cause follows Art. 337c CO.
- Who do I go to in Ticino for the compensation once I have objected?
- Without an agreement, the claim must be brought within 180 days after the employment ends, or it lapses (Art. 336b para. 2 CO); a conciliation request is enough (Art. 62 para. 1 CPC), at the employer's seat or where you usually work (Art. 34 CPC). In Ticino the justice of the peace (giudice di pace) conciliates up to CHF 5'000.00, above that the registrar of the district court (Pretura) (art. 2 and 3 of the cantonal act applying the CPC). Up to CHF 30'000.00 there are no court costs (Art. 113 and 114 CPC). The court may award up to six months' wages (Art. 336a CO); the dismissal itself stays valid.
