Statutory baselines

Nothing goes unchecked

Collective agreements don't cover every rule. When an agreement is silent on a limit, Leavo falls back to the country's statutory legal minimums so there's always a floor to check against.

Two statutory baseline presets are included, the Swiss Code des obligations and the French Code du travail, and each company picks its default agreement, with the statutory baseline catching anything the agreement leaves open.

The problem

Why gaps in an agreement are risky

Agreements leave rules unsaid

No collective agreement spells out every limit, and the unsaid ones still apply by law.

Silence reads as no rule

When a clause is missing, it's tempting to treat the rule as absent rather than defaulting to the law.

Each country differs

Swiss and French statutory minimums aren't the same, so a single generic fallback won't do.

How it works

From silence to a safe floor

Leavo checks the agreement first and the statutory baseline catches whatever it doesn't cover.

01

Pick your default agreement

Each company chooses the collective agreement that governs its checks.

02

Check the agreement first

For any rule the agreement defines, Leavo evaluates against that agreement's limit.

03

Fall back to statute

Where the agreement is silent, Leavo uses the country's statutory legal minimum instead.

04

Stay covered by country

The Swiss Code des obligations and French Code du travail baselines apply the right floor per country.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when an agreement doesn't cover a rule?

Leavo falls back to the country's statutory legal minimum for that rule, so it's still checked rather than skipped.

Which statutory baselines are included?

Two: the Swiss Code des obligations and the French Code du travail. Each applies the right statutory floor for its country.

Do I choose between an agreement and a baseline?

Each company picks a default agreement. The statutory baseline isn't a replacement, it quietly fills in wherever that agreement is silent.

Is this a substitute for legal advice?

No. Leavo classifies hours and rest against agreement and statutory limits as a compliance aid, it's not legal advice, and you should confirm specifics with a qualified adviser.
