Legal instability, deterioration of relations, erosion of market access… The consequences of the Federal Council’s decision not to sign the framework agreement between Switzerland and the European Union (EU) are worrying. Business circles are alarmed by the situation and call for this issue to be put back at the center of priorities as a matter of urgency.

By signing this charter, the signatory company undertakes to announce to the OCE all of its vacant positions, in addition to the currently existing legal obligation to announce vacant positions in the types of professions where the rate of national unemployment exceeds 5%. For its part, the OCE undertakes to propose, within 5 working days of receiving the email announcing the vacant position, candidates corresponding to the profiles sought. Ultimately, the employer remains perfectly free to hire or not to hire the candidates proposed by the state. By signing this charter, the company is therefore making a non-binding moral commitment that can be denounced at any time. A list of exceptions (intra-group transfer, trainee, etc.) to be agreed is possible.
