As stated in the section on kinds of employment, the statutory minimum working
age is 15. The working hours of young people must also take account of their
age, lack of experience and educational obligations. They will therefore not
normally be allowed to work at night or on Sundays.
People with disabilities are still too often discriminated against in the labour
market. To address this issue, Switzerland has adopted a disabled persons law
that provides for various measures to facilitate their integration into the
world of work (adaptation of work stations, financial assistance with
integration, etc.). The invalidity insurance scheme is the primary insurance
concerned with the integration of the disabled into the world of work. This
proposes measures to help both employees (vocational guidance, occupational
rehabilitation, daily subsistence allowances, travelling expenses, etc.) and
employers (meeting the cost of auxiliary work station facilities, building work,
etc.). The accident insurance system may also be involved. In addition, there
are private organisations devoted to the occupational rehabilitation of the
disabled.
