Salaries and Benefits
A large
part of the Swiss Hospitals are run by the Canton's, that
is the individual States. They each have quite restricted
salary scales which leave little room for reflecting
nurses shortages within specific specialties. Some of the
private hospitals offer slightly higher salaries, but by
and large the figures shown below are the average. The
Cantons of Zurich and Geneva pay slightly higher
salaries, while Aargau, despite its proximity to Zurich,
pays some of the lowest salaries.
The pay
for a staff nurse ranges from SFr 56,000 to SFr
69,600 (end 2008 currently about US$46,500
to US$ 58,000) per year.
Employees offering specialties get paid more. Nurses
work generally 42 hours per week. There are
night shift, weekend and overtime payments which are
about 20% higher than the standard hourly rate. Because
of the shortage of nurses, there is a good opportunity
for overtime. There are also opportunities for time in
lieu and in general employers offer three or more
weeks of paid vacations annually. Health
Insurance is as a rule not covered by the employer, but
it is easily available and by international comparison
(except when you come from a country with a National
Health Service!) relatively cheap. Some employers offer
subsidized housing and restaurant services for staff.
The
working environment in Swiss hospitals, especially the
relationship between doctors and nurses, is said to be
correct but cool. If anyone has personal experience,
please send us an e-mail and we will add your comments on
this page. Modern management methods, and especially
methods of personnel management, appear, from some
reports, still to be a kind of mystery for many Swiss
hospitals and clinics. But, please write, if you have
personal experiences and we will add your comments on
that point as well!
There is
currently a nursing manpower shortage of about ten
percent and a large number of planned positions are not
being filled. This figure also varies widely across the
country. Foreign nurses amount to approximately 26 % of
all nursing staff employed. The requirement of knowledge
of a national language and similarities in education and
training make German nurses the largest foreign
contingent in Switzerland.
