Switzerland announces new online platform for short-term work notifications

Effective 17 March 2025, all short-term work notifications in Switzerland will be processed exclusively via EasyGov.swiss, which will replace the current notification system. This transition aims to streamline the notification process. Employers that sponsor foreign nationals for work activities in Switzerland, as well as self-employed service providers, are subject to either a notification procedure or a permit requirement, depending on the duration of their employment. In the case of employers, the notification procedure is applicable when EU/EFTA/UK entities sponsor individuals (including posted workers and employees starting a new position) to conduct short-term work (i.e., up to 90 days in a calendar year) in Switzerland. The notification system helps manage the inflow of international workers and ensure compliance with Swiss labor and posted workers regulations.
