Nettoyage, Suisse romande
Convention collective de travail (CCT) · extended
The cleaning sector in French-speaking Switzerland. Enter a working week and see instantly whether it stays within the rules, triggers overtime, or breaches a limit.
Who this agreement covers
The French-speaking Switzerland cleaning agreement covers cleaning-services companies across the Romandy cantons and their operatives: building maintenance, office and commercial cleaning and specialised sanitation. Its distinguishing quirk is that the reference week and the weekly maximum are set at the same 43 hours, leaving no buffer before overtime rules apply, and on-call (standby) work is expressly prohibited, so employers must plan hours rather than keep staff on unpaid availability.
Key rules at a glance
These are the limits the checker uses for this agreement.
How overtime and hours work
The French-speaking Switzerland cleaning agreement sets both the reference and maximum week at 43 hours. Any hour worked beyond 43 hours in a week counts as overtime, compensated either with equivalent time off or paid at a flat 25 percent premium. On-call work is prohibited. Over a 12-week average, hours must not exceed 50. A working day may reach 13 hours within a 13-hour span, and employees are entitled to at least 11 consecutive hours of daily rest and 35 hours of weekly rest.
A 46-hour week under the Romandy cleaning agreement
A cleaning operative works 46 hours across several sites in one week. Because the reference week and the weekly maximum are both 43 hours, every hour beyond 43 is overtime.
Average weekly hours must not exceed 50 over any 12-week period, so this week stays within the ceiling. The 25 percent premium may instead be taken as equivalent time off, and on-call standby work is prohibited.
Frequently asked
When is a cleaning worker in overtime?+
Every hour worked beyond 43 hours in a week is overtime. It is compensated either with equivalent time off or paid at a flat 25 percent premium. The reference week and the weekly maximum are both set at 43 hours, so there is no buffer above the reference before overtime rules apply.
Is on-call or standby work allowed?+
No. The agreement prohibits on-call work, so employers cannot schedule workers to remain available without guaranteed hours. Working time must be planned; hours worked beyond the 43-hour week are overtime, compensated with time off or paid at the 25 percent premium.
What daily limits and rest periods apply?+
A working day may reach up to 13 hours within a 13-hour span. Employees must receive at least 11 consecutive hours of daily rest and at least 35 hours of weekly rest. Over any 12-week period, average weekly hours must not exceed 50.
