Swiss hospitality agreement (CCNT)
CCNT compliant, rule by rule.
What Novteam checks or calculates for you under the CCNT and the Labour Act. Each point says what the app does, no more, no less.
Scheduling
Schedule set two weeks ahead
Novteam flags the weeks in the next 14 days that are still drafts or have no published schedule.
CCNT art. 21
Two rest days per week
An alert when someone doesn’t get their 2 rest days; a half day counts if work stays within 5 hours, in the morning or the afternoon.
CCNT art. 16
35 hours of rest in a row
An alert if the week doesn’t give 35 hours of rest in a row, or 83 hours after seven working days in a row.
CCNT art. 16, OLT 1 art. 21
11 hours between two working days
An alert if rest between two days drops below 11 hours; 8 hours are allowed once a week.
LTr art. 15a
Breaks
15 minutes from 5.5 hours of work, 30 minutes from 7 hours, one hour from 9 hours; gaps between two shifts count as breaks.
LTr art. 15
A 14-hour span at most
An alert if the day stretches over more than 14 hours between 6 am and 11 pm.
LTr art. 10
50 hours a week at most
The shift that takes the week over 50 hours is flagged.
LTr art. 9
Contract working time
Novteam tells you when the schedule goes beyond the hours due under the venue’s weekly working time and each person’s rate.
CCNT art. 15
Wages and hours
2026 minimum wages by category
Each person’s training gives their category (Ia to IV, trainee); Novteam compares the wage with the minimum, monthly pro rata to the rate or hourly for a 42, 43.5 or 45-hour week, and alerts you below it.
CCNT art. 10
Night and Sunday hours apart
Hours between 11 pm and 6 am and Sunday hours are counted separately in the month’s variables sent to your fiduciary.
LTr art. 10 and 18
Hours approved every month
Each employee approves or disputes their hours for the month in the app, before closing.
Monthly statement
Rest days, holidays and public holidays
The rest-day counter
2/7 of a day earned per calendar day, part-time included; other absences don’t earn any, and a public holiday taken doesn’t cost one.
CCNT art. 16
Holidays pro rata
The annual entitlement you set (35 calendar days under the CCNT) is calculated on the months started in the year of arrival, rounded to the half day in the employee’s favour.
CCNT art. 17
Six paid public holidays
Your quota (6 days under the CCNT) is capped by the canton’s public holidays falling after the start date.
CCNT art. 18
The legal reduction
After a long illness or accident, Novteam proposes the reduction of holidays and public holidays the law allows, without ever applying it on its own.
CO art. 329b, CCNT art. 17 and 18
What Novteam doesn’t do
- Calculate net pay, contributions or withholding tax: your fiduciary or payroll software does that.
- Issue payslips or social insurance declarations (AVS, LPP, LAA).
- Calculate the 13th salary or supplements: Novteam passes on the hours, the fiduciary calculates.
- Replace the CCNT or your contract: when in doubt, the official text prevails.

Questions about the CCNT
Does Novteam block a schedule that breaks the CCNT?
No. It alerts you on the shift or week concerned, and you decide.
Are the minimum wages up to date?
Novteam uses the 2026 CCNT grid. It applies automatically to Swiss hospitality businesses.
What if my business isn’t covered by the CCNT?
You can set your own minimum wage grid, with your levels. The Labour Act alerts remain.
