Rationale and aims
Deine Checkliste für die Saisonarbeit in der Schweiz provides seasonal workers in the tourism and hospitality sectors with clear and practical information on documentation requirements, as well as their rights and obligations under Swiss law, before, during and after their stay. The initiative aims to support informed mobility by acting as a one-stop source of relevant information for seasonal workers moving to Switzerland.
Support offered
Deine Checkliste für die Saisonarbeit in der Schweiz is an online information tool developed by Fos Phénix/ASVN Alpenclub that provides seasonal workers with guidance on working conditions, minimum wages, working time, holiday pay, insurance and housing arrangements in Switzerland. It offers structured information covering key stages – i.e. before, during and after employment, and includes practical guidance on accommodation and everyday matters relevant to seasonal work.
Target groups and eligibility
The initiative targets seasonal workers seeking employment in the tourism and hospitality sector in Switzerland, with a particular focus on young workers. It is publicly available online and free of charge, with no formal eligibility criteria, although access depends on digital availability and knowledge of German.
