Common use of Social Insurance Clause in Contracts

Social Insurance. In the case of an internship in Switzerland, the Host Company must pay the compulsory social insurance contributions for any remuneration of the internship. In the case of an internship abroad, the Company shall calculate these contributions in accordance with the legislation in force in the country concerned. Foreign students registered at EPFL with a valid student permit may do a full-time paid internship, provided that the internship is an integral part of their studies and subject to an authorisation issued by the labour market authorities. - For students from non-European countries or countries which do not subscribe to the principle of mobility, the Host Company must ask the competent labour market authorities for permission to employ the Student as an intern and submit the working conditions to such authorities. EPFL issues a certificate stating that the internship is part of the Student’s curriculum, and that the Student is still registered as an EPFL student during the internship. The authorisation shall be granted if the working conditions are valid. The Student and the Host Company must wait for approval by the labour market authorities before starting the internship. - Students from EU or EFTA countries subscribing to the principle of mobility are authorised to perform an activity for the duration of the internship. Students must, however, be announced to the Residents' registration office (Contrôle des habitants) of the city where they live or of the canton where the internship will take place. The internship may begin as soon as the announcement is made. Students must announce any internship abroad to the EPFL Safety Domain through the website xxxxxxxx.xxxx.xx/xxxxxxx to benefit from the assistance programme. Students must complete the necessary administrative formalities (visa, work permit, vaccinations, etc.). Assistance is provided by the Host Company.
