As widely known, the revised Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (revFADP") will enter into force on 1 September 2023, and there will be no grace period. As a result, if you or your organisation process personal data in Switzerland, you have five months to implement the new requirements in your organisation.

Swiss organisations are at different stages of implementing the new requirements. If your organisation has done little to nothing to date, this briefing will guide you on what you really should do now.

PERFORM DATA MAPPING & GAP ANALYSIS

As a starting point, you should review all your data processing activities and, if necessary, perform a comprehensive data mapping exercise with your teams or departments and carry out a gap analysis.

Swiss Federal Supreme Court Upholds The Municipal Minimum Wage Regulations In The Cities Of Zurich And Winterthur

With minimum wages of CHF 23.90 and CHF 23.00 per hour respectively now set to take effect, the ruling settles a key question about the division of legislative powers between cantonal and municipal authorities in Switzerland's federal system.
