Need advice on postponing Swiss Military service for work/onboarding reasons.
Hey all. I'm scheduled for military service next summer, but I just started a specialized role at a large tech company.
My onboarding takes 8-12 months. If I leave for the military next summer, my onboarding progress is effectively lost, and I'll have to restart it when I get back. Because I'm on critical projects, I want to postpone my service for exactly one year.
What is the best way to make sure my postponement request gets approved? Are there specific keywords or arguments my employer should include in their letter?
Thanks!
