This should be in french also
The english translation i got is
employment of spouses and children
Ehegatten und Kinder von Schweizerinnen und Schweizern sowie von Personen mit einer Niederlassungs- oder Aufenthaltsbewilligung (Art. 42–44) können eine selbständige oder unselbständige Erwerbstätigkeit in der ganzen Schweiz ausüben.
Spouses and children of Swiss citizens and persons with an establishment or residence permit (Article 42-44) can be an independent or dependent employment in the whole exercise Switzerland. | |

This is important stuff - it effects many people on the forum in a similar situation to Kalyan.
For me, there is still some confusion in the legislation. What is clear is that non-EU citizens with L permits are not included in the above (art 45 not included in art 46). Those married to a Swiss citizen and those with C permits are included (art 42 and 43). The rest fall into the category discussed in art 44. It is clear that student permits are excluded.
My guess is that the residence permit has to be open and connected to a full time employment contractand not a restricted one linked to a project - but that's only my guess.
@kalyan - you state that your assignment is for 2 years fixed. The fact that your wife has been issued with a residence permit only (assuming you differentiate because the right to work is not included) suggests that my guess is in the right direction. It would be very interesting to know if she does get the right to work without finding a job first - if you go to your local town hall they should be able to tell you one way or the other. If you do this, please post the result here.
