The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has submitted a so-called flexible amendment to the Labour Code.

 

The main objective of the draft bill is to:

  • increase employment relationship flexibility for both employees and employers, 
  • relax certain rigid statutory rules, and 
  • respond to the current needs of the modern labour market.

The amendment is currently being discussed by the Government and is expected to be submitted to the Chamber of Deputies during the summer.

The proposed effective date is 1 January 2025.

We have focused on the key areas where changes are expected, and will take you through them.
