In many cases a reunified spouse can take up employment, but the right to work depends on your permit type and nationality, so it should be confirmed with the cantonal authority.
Family members admitted through reunification often receive a permit that allows gainful activity, particularly within the EU/EFTA free-movement framework where access to the labour market is broad.
For third-country families the work rights attached to the reunification permit can depend on the sponsor's status and the canton. Because the answer is not identical in every case, check the conditions noted on the family member's permit and with the cantonal migration office before they start a job.
