Die Sommerzeit bringt Ferien und oft Diskussionen über den Ferienanspruch zwischen Arbeitgebenden und Arbeitnehmenden.

Grundsätzlich bestimmt der Arbeitgeber, wann Ferien bezogen werden können (Art. 329 OR). Er muss dabei aber die Wünsche der Arbeitnehmenden berücksichtigen, soweit es die Betriebsabläufe gestatten. Frühzeitig kommunizierte Feriensperren aus betrieblichen Gründen (bspw. Hochsaison) sind daher zulässig und verbreitet.

Die Ferienplanung sollte zwei bis drei Monate vor Ferienantritt geregelt sein. Arbeitgeber dürfen Angestellten nur in Ausnahmefällen (z.B. betrieblicher Notfall) aus den Ferien zurückrufen und müssen die diesen dadurch anfallen Kosten (z.B. Stornokosten) übernehmen.

The Latest Swiss Cartel Law Reform Paradox: Escaping Brussels Only To Invite It Back?

Switzerland's latest cartel law reform introduces significant changes to competition assessment methodology and merger control procedures. While the reform modernizes merger review by adopting the SIEC test, it simultaneously creates a paradox by potentially diverging from EU standards in how agreements between undertakings are evaluated, raising questions about the balance between effects-based analysis and legal certainty.
