In Switzerland the contract can be terminated at will by both the employer or the employee, with the same notice period (in general one, two or three months depending on how long the contract has been in force).
But health care although not free is heavily regulated and mandatory. Switzerland does have social help. And there is much less poverty. And most of the people living in poverty are not poor homeless poor. They just dont qualify because the avrage income is so big.
Indeed. And my comment was in the context of someone saying that the US is the only country which has at-will employment. I was not comparing Switzerland to the US and I'm perfectly aware it's different in many aspects.
What i was trying to say is that the fact that Switzerland has similar you can be fired at will laws as US. The situation is not at all similar because of the other factors.
I think you understand very well what i mean, so please lets not pick on words.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a country that as at-will employment besides the US.
