Employee Benefits

For each year being a VSHNeer you get one day of paid leave in addition. You start with 25 days PTO (Paid time off) per year, or the percentage thereof agreed for part-time contracts. In the second year you get 26 days, in the third year 27 days etc., up until a maximum of 35 days per year after being a VSHNeer for more than 10 years.

We work 40 hours per week, or the percentage thereof agreed for part-time contracts.

Times and length of daily work are flexible, but mandatory rest periods must be taken. Every hour you work is written down and can be used later as free time.

You get a SBB Half Fare Travelcard ("Halbtax") paid per year.

Please note that your Half Fare Travelcard is paid automatically every January.

You get a recurring budget for your workplace. This is detailed here:

Every year you have an entitlement of 5 days and CHF 4'000.00 for your personal education. You can read more about that under Personal Education.

Women get the 14-week maternity leave specified by law, while men get 4-weeks of paternity leave, both at 100% pay.

If things go well, every VSHNeer should of course benefit. We have a phantom stock program, so everyone can participate in the success of the company.

The office is stuffed with fruits, snacks, chocolate, Club Mate, Coke, coffee, etc. All for free.

Monthly massages by BODYALARM directly in the VSHN office Zurich (VSHN takes over 70% of the costs).

Teams get a budget per year for having Team events, and we organize company-wide events throughout the year.
