Cross-Border Project Assignment From Germany To Switzerland - Is A Work Permit Required?

For the German version, please read here >>

Project assignments usually entail several challenges, but when they take place abroad, there are also a number of other challenges and aspects that need to be taken into account.

In practice, we repeatedly see that the work permit regulations in Switzerland are not always entirely clear and raise a number of additional questions.

Practical example:

Senna AG, based in Zurich (Switzerland), would like to implement an international reporting system that has already been installed as a pilot study in the German subsidiary. Martin Fuchs from Senna Deutschland AG in Munich (Germany) is to be seconded to Senna AG in Zurich for the implementation. The project assignment is scheduled to last 8 months.
