What is the minimum salary in Switzerland?

Published in Economy 1 min read

Switzerland does not have a national minimum wage. This means there is no legal requirement for employers to pay their employees a specific minimum amount.

However, there are minimum wages for specific industries and professions in Switzerland, which are set by collective bargaining agreements (CBAs). These agreements are negotiated between unions and employers' associations.

Here are some examples of minimum wages in Switzerland:

  • Hospitality: CHF 4,000 per month for full-time work.
  • Construction: CHF 4,200 per month for full-time work.
  • Retail: CHF 3,800 per month for full-time work.

It's important to note that these are just examples, and the actual minimum wage for a specific job may vary depending on the region, the employer, and the employee's experience.
