Flexible working hours
Our working time model envisages a full-time workload of 41.25 hours per week. The time at work is established by means of time recording. The organisation of the working hours is the responsibility of the individual and is flexible, by arrangement with his or her superiors. Allowing for the workload and core periods, employees are free to choose their daily working times.
Staff welfare
All employees are insured in our own staff benefit fund, which offers independence and security. The whole salary (basic salary and bonus) is covered. Employees with a higher income are additionally covered in a management insurance.
Insurance schemes
Employees have the option of joining a collective insurance scheme. On inability to work following illness or an accident the continued payment of wages extends for a maximum of 730 days. Geistlich Pharma AG will pay 100% of salary after the probation period. All employees are insured against occupational accidents with SUVA, the Swiss Accident Insurance Fund. Employees whose weekly working time amounts to at least eight hours are also insured with SUVA against non-occupational accidents.
