Swiss SME compliance open datasets: minimum wage by canton and compliance-deadline calendar (2026)

Switzerland has no national minimum wage. This dataset compiles the statutory minimum wage in force across all 26 cantons for 2026, plus the three communal (city) minimums (Zurich, Winterthur, Lucerne). Five cantons set a statutory cantonal minimum (Geneva CHF 24.59, Basel-Stadt CHF 22.20, Jura CHF 21.40, Neuchatel CHF 21.35, Ticino CHF 20.00 to 20.50); the other 21 have none and set pay floors through sector collective agreements and standard contracts. Every figure is cross-checked against the official cantonal, municipal or federal source linked in each row. Provided as CSV (flat, English columns) and JSON (full English, German and French text). Indicative and indexed yearly in several cantons; confirm the current rate with the authority. Source and full comparison table: https://cantoncompliancehub.ch/resources/swiss-minimum-wage-by-canton
