Clause generator

In employment law, the only reliable route is an arbitration agreement concluded more than one month after the end of the employment relationship. After that period, the claims are no longer mandatory and become fully arbitrable.

Good to know. CAUTION, MANDATORY LIMIT. An arbitration clause inserted in the employment contract is ineffective for the employee's protected claims. Under art. 341 para. 1 CO, the employee cannot waive, during the contract and during the month following its end, claims arising from mandatory provisions. The only reliable route is an arbitration agreement concluded more than one month after the end of the employment relationship.

Add a penalty clause (incentive to comply with the award) i

Contract concluded with a consumer (individual acting for personal or family needs)

You will get the dedicated clause, with its own heading. It may appear in the contract or in your general terms, provided it is presented prominently, under that heading. A consumer respondent will have to accept arbitration once the dispute has arisen.

Convention d'arbitrage post-emploi (voie valable, à conclure plus d'un mois après la fin des rapports)

Convention d'arbitrage 1. [Employeur] et [Travailleur], dont les rapports de travail ont pris fin le [date], conviennent de soumettre tout litige résultant de ces rapports de travail ou en relation avec ceux-ci, notamment les prétentions en salaire, heures supplémentaires, vacances, indemnités de fin de contrat, licenciement abusif ou immédiat, certificat de travail et prohibition de concurrence, à un arbitrage définitif administré par CONCORDA (www.concorda.ch), à l'exclusion des tribunaux étatiques ordinaires. 2. L'arbitrage se déroule conformément au Règlement d'arbitrage de CONCORDA en vigueur au moment de l'introduction de la procédure, lequel fait partie intégrante de la présente convention. Les parties excluent expressément l'application du chapitre 12 de la Loi fédérale sur le droit international privé (LDIP), conformément à son article 176 alinéa 2, et soumettent la procédure exclusivement à l'arbitrage interne suisse (art. 353 ss CPC). Le tribunal arbitral est composé d'un arbitre unique. Le siège de l'arbitrage est à Monthey. La langue de la procédure est le français. La sentence est définitive et vaut titre exécutoire (art. 387 CPC), les voies de recours au Tribunal fédéral demeurant réservées (art. 389 ss CPC). 3. Les parties confirment que la présente convention est conclue plus d'un mois après la fin des rapports de travail (art. 341 al. 1 CO).

What remains reserved

Timing: before the month has elapsed, mandatory claims are not arbitrable. The agreement must be dated and concluded after that period.
No circumvention through international arbitration for a purely Swiss employment relationship.
Social insurance, occupational pensions (LPP), equality (LEg): these disputes fall within particular state competences and are excluded from arbitration.
Form: a written agreement, signed or accepted by means allowing it to be evidenced by a text, satisfies art. 358 CPC.
