Benefits can be compared
Many employers talk about attractive working conditions. But what does that mean in concrete terms? The simplest benchmark is the law. The Swiss Code of Obligations (CO) and the Employment Act (EmpA) define what employers in Switzerland must offer as a minimum. We show transparently where Nexus Group goes further.
At a glance
- Holidays: The law provides 4 weeks per year, or 5 weeks up to the age of 20 (Art. 329a CO). At Nexus Group: 5 weeks per year.
- Working hours: The law allows a maximum of 45 hours per week for office staff (Art. 9 EmpA). At Nexus Group: 40-hour week.
- Home office: There is no legal entitlement. At Nexus Group: up to 2 days per week at a 100% workload.
- Further training: There is no general legal obligation to fund it. At Nexus Group: support with further training possible.
- Mobility: There is no legal obligation. At Nexus Group: Half Fare travelcard covered.
Holidays: an extra week to recharge
The law provides four weeks of holiday per year of service for adults. At Nexus Group, it is five. We believe that rest is the foundation of good work. That is why taking time to recharge, for example over the Christmas holidays, is part of our company culture.
Working hours: 40 instead of 45
For office staff, the Employment Act allows a maximum working week of 45 hours. We work a 40-hour week, combined with flexible working hours. This leaves room for family, hobbies and personal interests.
Home office: flexibility as a fixed component
In Switzerland, there is no legal entitlement to home office. Whether and how much employees work from home is agreed between employer and employee. At Nexus Group, up to two days of home office per week are possible at a 100% workload. With hybrid models, digital tools and clear meeting formats, we make sure collaboration also works remotely.
Further training: we invest in your development
The law does not generally oblige employers to fund further training. Nevertheless, training matters to us, because «We learn constantly» is one of our four core values. Depending on the training, Nexus Group may contribute to the costs. We also support employees with individual development plans. In addition, managers in middle management complete a dedicated leadership programme.
Mobility: Half Fare travelcard included
With eight locations in Switzerland, mobility matters to us. That is why Nexus Group covers its employees' Half Fare travelcard (Halbtax). Our offices are centrally located and easily accessible by public transport.
What no law regulates
Some benefits cannot be compared with a legal article, but are just as important to us:
- Transparent career and compensation model: Everyone knows where they stand and what the next step is.
- Open feedback culture: Ideas and constructive feedback are explicitly welcome.
- Community: Regular team events and work parties strengthen our team spirit.
- Modern working environment: Offices with up-to-date technology and digital processes.
Conclusion
The law defines the minimum. At Nexus Group, we deliberately go further: more holidays, fewer weekly hours, home office, support with further training and the Half Fare travelcard. If these conditions appeal to you, take a look at our open positions.
