Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The compensation model is highly non-transparent and, in practice, can lead to earnings that fall significantly below the expected minimum hourly rate in Canton Zürich.
Working time is not calculated from the beginning to the end of the workday. Instead, only narrowly defined “active task time” is counted as paid hours. Large portions of the day—often 2–3 hours—can be classified as unpaid breaks or waiting time, even though you are still effectively tied to the job and unable to use that time freely.
At the end of the month, this accounting method can reduce total paid hours substantially. In some cases, the effective hourly rate can be up to ~40% lower than what would be expected under standard hourly compensation practices in Switzerland.
This system makes it difficult to predict income and creates a mismatch between time committed and time compensated.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Stop underpay your workers. Introduce a transparent and compliant time-tracking system that reflects actual working presence (start-to-finish of shifts), not just isolated task execution. Reduce excessive unpaid idle periods or compensate them appropriately. Clear communication about how hours are calculated would also improve trust and retention.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Everyone is depressed because of low salary. Including those who work long time. Fact of staying there means just tthat a person couldn’t find another job.
