Switzerland
In Switzerland, immigration compliance is required for hiring foreign employees. For certain roles, such as attorneys-at-law and bank executives, criminal and credit reference checks may be required. Criminal and credit reference checks for other roles are only permissible if they are relevant to the proposed work and are subject to proportionality requirements. Reference and education checks are common and permissible with the applicant's consent.
