II. Competent authorities and procedure
1 Where the scope of application of a standard employment contract extends over more than one canton, the Federal Council is responsible for issuing it, but otherwise the canton is responsible.
2 Before being issued, the standard employment contract shall be published in an appropriate manner and a time limit set within which interested parties may submit their comments in writing; furthermore, the relevant professional associations and public bodies shall be consulted.
3 The standard employment contract comes into force once it has been issued in accordance with the provisions governing official publications.
4 The same procedure applies to the rescission or amendment of a standard employment contract.
III. Rapport avec le droit impératif
Le droit impératif de la Confédération et des cantons l’emporte sur la convention; toutefois, les dérogations stipulées en faveur des travailleurs sont valables, à moins que le droit impératif ne s’y oppose expressément.
