2023 has brought about a series of changes that impact both
employers and individuals seeking opportunities in the country.
This round-up piece will explore the key developments that have
shaped Hungarian employment and immigration law over the past
year.
Employment
As of 1 January 2023, a significant modification to the
Hungarian Labour Code came into force. The amendments, outlined in
Act LXXIV of 2022, focused on areas such as information obligations
of the employer, abuse of rights, new types of holidays and rules
to make it easier for parents to work. In March 2023, the European
Court of Justice (ECJ) adopted a decision that had a major impact
on the calculation and allocation of daily and weekly rest
times.
