Mamma mia Jim, this is the 2nd time we politely clash on the same subject, and I really do not wish to contradict you or upset anybody's apple cart for sure.

All I am saying is that it's a good idea to really find out what you're facing and what the rules are for unemployment benefits.

As for prospective employers calling for references.... yes they certainly do....
Given that the OP is under such stress that their doctor is recommending that they need to go on sick leave, making a post that simply repeats the OP's original fears is to say the least unhelpful...

I've worked in the banking sector in Switzerland for almost 20 years and during that time I've been involved in the hirings and terminations at 3 banks and I have yet to find one who would either make or accept such calls without the employees permission. Out of interest how often in Switzerland, have you encountered situations where a prospective employer has made or accepted such calls without the employee's permission?

Jim.

Jim
