Deviating working time regulation You are required to do your work within normal working hours. Due to your position of responsibility, this may often not be possible for a variety of reasons, which is why you may need to provide additional services to achieve your objectives. In deviation from the working time and holiday regulations, you are entitled to five additional holiday days per year (100% workload, pro rata temporis); beyond this there is no entitlement to remuneration or compensation for additional services. Your salary and the above-mentioned holiday regulation correspond to this position of responsibility and include the complete compensation for your work, thus also for additional services. Inform your supervisor if you believe that, on average, you will not be able to complete your work within a reasonable time. Your supervisor is responsible for controlling departmental tasks. Otherwise, the working time and holiday regulations apply.
Continued payment of salaries in case of accident and illness You are covered by mandatory insurance against occupational and non-occupational accidents. In the case of illness, Hocoma pays the full salary during the first 60 days of illness in a calendar year; thereafter, the sickness benefits insurance pays 80% of the salary up to the expiry of a maximum of 730 days of illness, in accordance with the relevant insurance regulations. However, continued payment of salaries in case of illness only applies if the employment relationship has lasted for more than three months or was entered into for more than three months.
Incapacity for work must be reported immediately to the supervisor. As of the third calendar day of incapacity for work, both in the event of accident and illness, a medical certificate must be submitted to the personnel department. In case of long-term incapacity for work, the personnel department must be informed and a medical report submitted monthly. If you fall ill or have an accident during your holidays, the days of total incapacity attested by a medical certificate do not count as holidays.

Hocoma; you are responsible for paying the premium for non-occupational accident insurance.

Military service In the event of work being prevented due to compulsory Swiss military service, women's military service or civil defence service, Hocoma pays 100% of the salary during the period in accordance with Article 324a of the Swiss Code of Obligations and the Zurich scale. For the period during which salaries are paid by Hocoma, compensation under the earnings compensation regulation is the responsibility of Hocoma.
