Verträge — Employment Contracts Tips & Tricks

• Fill in the employee's full profile before generating — placeholders for address, birthdate, and position pull from the employee record. Missing data results in blank spots in the contract PDF.

• Preview every contract before generating — the preview shows exactly what the PDF will look like. Catch formatting issues, missing data, or placeholder errors before creating a permanent record.

• Keep a separate template for amendments — instead of regenerating the full contract for small changes, create an amendment template that references the original contract and lists only what changed. This is cleaner for both parties.

• Duplicate templates to create variations — if you need a slightly different version for managers or temporary staff, duplicate your standard template and modify just the sections that differ. This saves time and keeps formatting consistent.

• Review templates at the start of each year — Swiss employment law and your company policies may change. Update your templates before onboarding new staff to ensure contracts reflect current terms. Already generated contracts are not affected by template changes.
