As a response to the 2008 judgment of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic, which has cancelled some provisions of the Labour Code, as well as to comply with the government's Statement of Purpose, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs prepared a conceptual amendment to the Labour Code. The proposal has been approved by the Government in June 2011 and it should be debated by the Chamber of Deputies in its July 2011 session. The effective date of the amendment is planned for 1 January 2012.

The purpose of this article is to summarise the most important changes which shall be brought by the amendment.

Invalidity of employment law acts

The proposal should, in some cases, explicitly stipulate the principle of absolute invalidity. I.e. some employment law acts would be invalid without necessity to contest their validity. Currently, only relative invalidity is applied to employment law acts.

EU Pay Transparency Transposition: Czechia Restricts Pay Secrecy Ahead Of Full Transposition

Czechia has implemented a prohibition on employer-imposed pay secrecy clauses as part of its partial transposition of the EU Pay Transparency Directive, while broader implementing legislation remains under development. Employers operating in Czechia must immediately review employment agreements and confidentiality policies to ensure compliance with the current restrictions, while preparing for comprehensive pay transparency requirements expected to take effect between 2027 and 2031.
