Mandatory job notification 2023
Switzerland - December 23, 2022
As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, the unemployment rate in
Switzerland increased in 2021 and 2022, which is why the Swiss
Federal Council had made additional types of occupations subject to
the job notification requirement as of 2022. Furthermore, the only
criterion for the job notification requirement is that the
unemployment rate exceeds 5% in the respective sectors.
For the year 2023, there are significantly fewer occupational
types subject to mandatory job notification. This primarily impacts
the retail trade (retail trade employees, assistants, specialists)
and the hospitality sector with the occupations of service
specialists, bartenders, and cooks, which are no longer subject to
mandatory reporting. In 2023, only 37 occupations will be
reportable, compared to 63 in the previous years of 2021 and 2022.
