Not at all KJTW. Switzerland is very different from other places and regulations/rules can go down to the town/village/city level (gemeinde in German).

I suggest you get hold of a copy of "Living and Working in Switzerland" by David Hampshire. It's full of useful info for both before and after you move here. You can order it from your local bookshop or via the internet. And of course, there's a wealth of info in the various sticky threads here on the forum too. A few searches of the forum for specific keywords may also throw up some useful threads on the searched for subject. Or just ask, someone's bound to know the answer.
