On 26 April 2023, an extensive amendment to the Labour Code passed by the Parliament on 9 March 2023 came into force. The amendment is of momentous importance for both employees and employers.
The amendment covers, inter alia, the following areas: the manner of conclusion and content of the employment contract, the scope of the employer’s information obligations, termination of the employment contract and care leave.
In addition, the amendment stipulates, inter alia, that an employer may not prohibit an employee from simultaneously remaining in an employment relationship with another employer or from simultaneously remaining in a legal relationship that is the basis for the provision of work other than an employment relationship, and that an employee who has been employed with a given employer for at least six months may submit a request once in a calendar year, on paper or electronically, that the employer change the type of employment contract to an employment contract of indefinite duration or for more predictable and safer working conditions, including change of the type of work or full-time employment
