Coople is subject to the CBA Staff Leasing. Minimum wages depend on the worker's age, wage class, and Venue.
Why it applies
The CBA Staff Leasing has been declared generally binding by the Federal Council – that's why its provisions apply to all staff leasing companies. The exception is other generally binding collective labour agreements: if a more specific agreement applies to your workspace (like the N-CLA for hospitality), its wage, working-time, holiday, and public-holiday provisions take precedence – everything else continues to be governed by the CBA Staff Leasing. Below are the current legally required minimum gross hourly wages.
Minimum wages
In effect since 1 January 2026. Gross hourly wage, already including holiday and public-holiday compensation and the 13th-month wage – see «Good to know» below.

Good to know
These hourly wages already include holiday compensation (8.33% or 10.60%, depending on age), public-holiday compensation (3.20%), and the 13th-month wage (8.33%).
Cantonally mandatory minimum wages take priority when higher – currently the case in Geneva, for unskilled workers.
Coople assigns your workspace the labour agreement that applies to it; the CBA Staff Leasing is the default when no other agreement declared generally binding (like the N-CLA for hospitality) applies. The applicable wage class, age bracket, and region depend on the worker and Venue for the shift.
Once a worker is assigned to a shift, Coople checks the wage against the minimum for their wage class, age, and region – you can't save a wage below it.
