The Swiss government has set 17 May 2020 for a popular vote on ‘limited immigration’ that calls for ‘Switzerland to autonomously regulate foreign immigration flows’. If accepted then it would lead to the ending of free movement of people between Switzerland and the EU. The announcement has come at a time when fresh data published by SECO (State Economy Secretariat) shows that European companies have improved in terms of adhering to Switzerland’s right to work framework, as well as to its rules framing European detached workers working in the Confederation.
Have the Swiss ‘accompanying’ work provisions been efficient? According to data published in the week 20 January 2020 by SECO (State Economy Secretariat), European companies operating in Switzerland have made progress in terms of complying with Swiss labor legislation as well as the rules over European detached workers. These ‘accompanying’ rules were established following the February 2014 popular vote when the people voted in favor of the introduction of annual immigration quotas.
