Employment law is governed primarily by the Labour Code.
Where an employee from another EU member state is sent
by an employer to work in the Czech Republic as a part of
the transnational provision of services, certain minimum
requirements of the Czech Labour Code must be respected,
such as maximum working hours, minimum length of rest
periods, minimum annual leave entitlement, the minimum
wage and the relevant lowest guaranteed wage, additional
payment for overtime work, work during bank holidays,
at night, in an unfavourable working environment or on
a Saturday or Sunday, conditions of accommodation, if
provided by the employer, compensation for travel expenses,
and overtime rates, occupational health and safety, etc.
Long-term posted workers (working in the Czech Republic
for more than 12 months or for more than 18 months
if prolongation was requested by the employer via the
competent Labour Office before the expiry of the 12
months posting period) will have to be provided with all the
working conditions under the Czech law, except for rules
regulating commencement, changes, and termination of the
employment relationship.
The maximum working hours are 40 hours per week. The
standard working week is Monday to Friday.
The maximum amount of overtime that may be assigned
unilaterally by the employer is 8 hours per week and 150
hours per year. The maximum amount of overtime work
agreed with the employee may not exceed 208 hours per half
a year.
The retirement age is normally 65 years, however, with
people born before 1971, the age may differ based on
gender, the year of birth and the number of children raised
(applicable to women only).
