Labor Law Seminar at the Czech Chamber of Commerce

On the last Wednesday of October 2019, Felix a spol. co-hosted a seminar on labor law entitled “The most common labor-law errors made by employers”. The lecturers were JUDr. Jakub Morávek, Ph.D. and JUDr. Markéta Schormová from ČEZ . In the first part of the seminar, JUDr. Morávek discussed the selection process, specifically explaining what information the employer may require before the employment begins and when the selection is deemed discriminatory. Furthermore, he explained what provisions must and may be included in the employment contract, and also dealt with the content of the employer’s duty to inform the employee when entering into an employment relationship. JUDr. Schormová explained the specific features of agreements for work done outside employment, described the activities for which it is possible to conclude a business contract instead of an employment contract, and also the possibilities employees have with respect to their own business activities. She pointed out which mistakes made by employers are most frequently uncovered by the Labor Inspectorate in the area of remuneration and working hours, and she also focused on the correct setting of the rules on remuneration of employees and on the lump-sum overtime pay. The seminar was concluded by JUDr. Morávek, who made some remarks about the valid termination of employment, and namely about the consequences of invalid termination.
