New 2025 work rules for all employees
Starting from June 2025, a major amendment to the Czech Labour Code – the so-called flexinovela – brings important changes for employees. Whether you’re working full-time, on parental leave, or just navigating Czech work culture as an international, these updates affect your rights and working conditions.
Especially:
- Rules around notice periods and trial periods,
- Rights for parents returning from maternity or parental leave,
- Greater transparency in salaries – no more pay secrecy,
- Option to receive your salary in a foreign currency (not just CZK!),
- Easier contracts and reduced red tape for employees.
Brno Expat Centre’s senior consultant and manager, Jan Kopkáš, and Global Mobility Specialist from Kiwi.com, Dominika Němčáková, break down the most relevant changes from an employee’s point of view.
