On 12 September 2023, the Parliament adopted an amendment to the Labour Code implementing the European Directives on work-life balance (No. 2019/1158) and on transparent working conditions (No. 2019/1152), which were to be implemented in the member states by August 2022. The Amendment will become effective probably already on 1 October 2023 and so, employers have only a short time to familiarise themselves with and prepare for the new regulation.
In this respect, namely the following action will be required:
- entering into remote working agreements with all employees working from home;
- reviewing templates of ‘zero-hour‘ agreements (in Czech referred to as “DPP” (agreement to complete a job) and “DPC” (agreement to perform work)) and setting new internal rules for cooperation with employees based on these agreements;
- preparation of templates for the provision of mandatory information for all new employees;
- reviewing internal policies and processes relating to employees, who are parents or carers;
- reviewing internal processes with respect to electronic delivery of documents.
