the legal floor where they are

Set by law, not by Nestlé S.A. It applies to every employer in Vevey.

PTO	20 (Obligationenrecht art. 329a)
Birthing-parent leave	14 (Obligationenrecht art. 329a)
Partner leave	2 (Obligationenrecht art. 329a)
State pension	occupational pension (second pillar) is mandatory and employer-funded at minimum half. (Obligationenrecht art. 329a)
How healthcare is paid for	Health cover in Switzerland is mandatory but PRIVATE: every resident must buy basic insurance (KVG/LAMal) individually from a private insurer of their choice - there is no employer plan and no family policy, each adult and each child is insured separately. Anyone settling in Switzerland must take out cover within three months of taking up residence, and the policy and premiums apply retroactively from the date of arrival; miss the deadline and the canton assigns an insurer for you. Premiums are per-head (Kopfpramien): the insurer sets them independently of income, varying only by canton/region, age band and insurance model, so a cleaner and a banker in the same postcode pay the same. The average adult monthly premium is CHF 465.30 (2026), up 4.1% on 2025; the mittlere Pramie across all ages is CHF 393.30 per month (2026). As social compensation for flat per-head premiums, cantons pay individual premium reductions (Pramienverbilligung) to people in modest circumstances, and must cut children's premiums by at least 80% and those of young adults in training by at least 50% for lower- and middle-income families. Basic cover is identical by law at every insurer; only price and service differ. (Obligationenrecht art. 329a)
IVF cycles the state covers	Basic insurance does NOT cover IVF - zero cycles. What it does cover: investigation of infertility (consultations, ultrasound, most blood tests, diagnostic surgery), light hormone stimulation for up to 12 months, and a maximum of 3 intrauterine inseminations, in each case only where the woman is under 40; entitlement to a further 3 inseminations generally revives after a pregnancy that ends in miscarriage. In-vitro fertilisation, ICSI and the drugs used in an IVF cycle are excluded by law from compulsory basic cover in every case, as is social egg freezing; fertility preservation is reimbursed only in a narrow set of oncology cases. Self-pay cost: CHF 5,000-7,000 per IVF treatment cycle (2025) covering stimulation, egg retrieval, laboratory work and embryo transfer, with ICSI in the same range, plus CHF 1,000-2,000 (2025) for medication per cycle. The ordinary franchise and 10% retention still apply to the parts that ARE covered. IVF costs are tax-deductible in most cantons. Complications after IVF and the resulting pregnancy itself are fully covered. (Obligationenrecht art. 329a)
