How overtime and hours work
Retail trade in Switzerland has no single national agreement; it resolves to the applicable company agreement (such as Migros or Coop) or a cantonal agreement, with a conservative baseline of a 42-hour reference week. Hours beyond the reference week are overtime, paid at a flat 25 percent premium. Switzerland's Labour Act caps the week at 50 hours, including as a 12-week average. A working day may reach 13 hours within a 13-hour span, and employees are entitled to at least 11 hours of daily rest and 35 hours of weekly rest.
Frequently asked
Is there one retail agreement covering all of Switzerland?+
No. Retail is a patchwork: coverage resolves first to any applicable company agreement (for example Migros or Coop), then to a cantonal retail agreement, then to a cantonal standard contract. In the absence of those, the statutory Labour Act floor applies, with a conservative 42-hour reference week.
How is overtime handled in retail?+
Using the conservative baseline, hours worked beyond the 42-hour reference week are overtime, paid at a flat 25 percent premium. The absolute weekly ceiling is 50 hours, also applied as a 12-week average, so scheduling must respect that Labour Act limit regardless of which agreement resolves.
What daily hours and rest rules apply?+
A working day may reach up to 13 hours of work within a 13-hour span. Employees must receive at least 11 consecutive hours of daily rest and at least 35 hours of weekly rest. Applicable cantonal minimum wages may also apply on top where higher.
