NOVELIZATON OF THE LABOUR CODE 2020
As of 30th July 2020 the first part of the novelization of the Labour Code (Act No. 262/2006 Coll.), published in the Collection of Laws on 26th June 2020 under No. 285/2020 Coll., became effective.
This part introduces in particular a new legal regulation of the delivery of documents, further specification of the regulation of the transfer of rights and obligations arising from the labour relations and new conditions for the posting of workers to EU Member States in accordance with the European legislations.
The second part of the abovementioned novelization, becoming effective as of 1st January 2021, will introduce shared jobs, new holiday rules and other changes (e.g. increase in certain types of compensation that the employer is obliged to pay to survivors of the employee who died due to an occupational injury or an occupational disease, or newly to other persons who are affected by very serious injury to the employee’s health). This second part of the novelization shall be addressed in our next Newsletter.
