To help you be flexible and balance leisure and work time, SBB offers “Work Smart” as an option in many careers. By this we mean working from home, in the office, on the move on the train, or at another location in Switzerland. You can choose your working hours and place of work flexibly.

There is additional remuneration for night and weekend work; for example, CHF 16 per hour for Sunday work. For night work, you also receive a time supplement of between 10% and 30%. This means you’ll have more free time than employees without night work or weekend work. In addition, we ensure that shift work is organised in a way that is conducive to good health.

Focus on health.

The health of our employees is our first priority. For this reason, we take into account insights from occupational health, such as the sequence of shifts or the number of night shifts, as far as possible when organising shift work. We also ensure catering options. When assigning shifts, we take account of your personal wishes as much as possible and show consideration for older employees.

Preparation and training for shift work.

You can also attend various training courses which provide ideal preparation for working shifts. These courses take a preventative approach and draw your attention to the most common dangers of shift work. The tips you learn there will help you keep mentally and physically fit.
