In 2025, several Swiss cantons apply minimum hourly wages (Swiss minimum wage 2025): Geneva at CHF 24.48, Neuchâtel at CHF 21.31, Jura at CHF 21.40, Ticino at CHF 19.00, and Basel-City at CHF 21.00. These amounts, adjusted according to the consumer price index, aim to ensure a decent income for workers, reflecting regional cost-of-living variations. Some sectors, such as agriculture and floriculture, have specific rates, for example in Geneva, where the minimum wage is CHF 17.99 for these industries.
In Switzerland, public holidays reflect the cultural and religious diversity of each canton. While some holidays, such as New Year’s Day, Ascension Day, Swiss National Day, and Christmas, are observed nationwide, others, like Geneva’s Fast or Assumption Day, are specific to certain regions. This variability has a direct impact on activity planning and business management.
