5. Access to employment for people with an S permit
Persons who have been granted provisional protection status S may engage in gainful employment or self-employment in Switzerland on condition that they announce the activity.
Every time an employee enters the labor force, changes employer or ceases to work, he is required to make a prior announcement. Wage and working conditions must be in accordance with the customs of the place, profession and branch concerned.
Announcement of gainful activity
The employer or independent person, whose place of business is in Geneva, must report the online activity on the EasyGOV Confederation platform, after having created an account if necessary : EasyGov
Individuals and businesses without access to EasyGov can submit their ads using this form.
People who have obtained protection status in France are not allowed to work in Switzerland (it is not possible to obtain a cross-border work permit).
Teleworking
Persons with an S permit who are teleworking for a foreign employer (e.g. for their previous employer in their country of origin) or who are continuing their existing self-employed activity without influencing the Swiss labour market do not need to announce their activity.
