Whether hourly-paid workers have a legal right to compensation for cantonal public holidays.
Solution extraite
Swiss law does not generally require payment for public holidays to hourly-paid workers, except for 1 August when it falls on a working day.
Motifs extraits
Art. 110(3) Cst. guarantees pay only for the national holiday; Art. 20a LTr and the CO do not create a general duty to pay other public holidays; cantons cannot impose such a private-law duty. Art. 7(d) of the ICESCR is not directly applicable.
