CBA on Staff Leasing
Over 400,000 people are subject to the provisions of the CBA on Staff Leasing, making it the largest collective bargaining agreement in Switzerland, and its conclusion in 2012 represented a milestone for the temporary recruitment sector. Its sophisticated framework of rules strikes a fair balance between social security for employees and flexibility for companies.
In autumn 2023, the social partners agreed on a new contract.
