In the Swiss federal public sector, commuting time becomes working time
A directive on "Forms of Mobile Work Arrangements in the Federal Government", which came into effect on 1 January 2020, states that staff may work during a journey if the duration and means of transport are compatible with the task to be performed. The employees concerned will thus be able to request that their commuting time be counted as working time. This decision is in response to a joint request from the four trade unions.
