SUMMARY:Starting field Partner Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Labor law & leadership that really work in everyday startup life\n\nStartups quickly lose money and time in employment law – typically when hiring (contract/trial period/wage components)\, in operations (overtime/overtime\, vacation/part-time\, expenses/wage deductions\, absences) and in terminations (deadlines/locking periods\, lack of documentation). Syna shows in a practical way what is mandatory in the OR/ArG\, where there is room for maneuver and how to reduce risks with a clean setup.  Participants receive a toolbox with checklists\, samples and calculation aids as well as short paths for support in specific cases.  Goal: Labor law becomes a strength – not a brake pad. \n					\n									To the registration\n					 \nAt the Partner Lunch\, Startfeld service providers talk from the inside. At this event\, our partner provides valuable insights and gives you important tips in just 30 minutes that you can implement directly in your startup.  During the lunch that follows\, open questions can be discussed and in-depth conversations can be held. \nThe partner lunches are free of charge. Registration is still necessary. \nThe Partner Lunch in a nutshell\n												Date \nMay 19\, 2026 \n11.45 – 13.00 \n												Place \nInnovation Park EastLerchenfeldstrasse 39014 St.Gallen \n												Speakers \nFreddie Köchli and Vincenzo UrsoSyna Eastern Switzerland \nREGISTRATION
