Flexi novela zákoníku práce podepsána prezidentem republiky

Today, 25 April 2025, the President of the Czech Republic signed the so-called flexible amendment to the Labor Code. If the amendment is published in the Collection of Laws by the end of April, most of its provisions will come into effect on 1 June 2025. If it is published in May, it will come into effect a month later, i.e., on 1 July 2025.

The adopted amendment brings changes to a wide range of areas regulated by the Labor Code, including the establishment and termination of employment relationships. Among the most significant changes are the extension of the probationary period and the adjustment of the length and course of the notice period. You can read more details about selected changes in our March alert.

In addition to the amendment to the Labor Code itself, a number of other legal regulations were amended, including the Labor Inspection Act, the Employment Act, and the government regulation adjusting the scope and extent of personal obstacles to work.

This amendment to the Labor Code brings a number of changes that will directly impact labor relations within a few weeks at the latest. Employers should actively approach the adjustment of their labor documentation and related internal processes to ensure timely compliance with the Labor Code and other legal regulations.
