In particular, the law provides for the introduction of a job posting obligation in those areas of employment where the unemployment rate reaches or exceeds a certain threshold. The Federal Council has now decided on a staggered approach: From 1 July 2018, a threshold of 8 percent and from 1 January 2020 a threshold of 5 percent will apply. <strong>T<span lang=\"en\">his job posting requirement applies &#8211; irrespective of whether foreign applicants are expected &#8211; for all positions of the professions concerned. Thus, every company in Switzerland should familiarize themselves with the regulations and check whether they are to be applied before the tendering procedure.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is introduced in a first step in those occupations in which the total Swiss average annual unemployment rate reaches or exceeds 8 percent.

This gives jobseekers a head start on the job market, which they can take advantage of by quickly and independently applying for vacancies. In addition to this information advantage, the PES sends appropriate dossiers to the employers within three working days. These employers invite suitable jobseekers to a job interview or an aptitude test and inform the PES if they are hired.<\/p>\n<p>This measure also provides for a better integration of refugees. Job Seekers and Recognized Refugees eligible for the Labor Market and provisional beneficiaries receiving social assistance will be reported to the PES. This gives them a better chance of being integrated effectively and sustainably into the Swiss labor market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For further questions on this topic please contact International HR Services Ltd..
