A More Employer-Friendly Labor Code?
We bring you an overview of upcoming changes to the Labor Code in 2025, driven by the proposed "Flexible Amendment". Key areas of focus include the extension of probationary periods, increased flexibility for employees returning from parental leave, termination of employment without cause (with higher severance pay), and adjustments to notice periods. The article highlights both the opportunities and challenges these amendments may bring and offers guidance on how businesses can prepare.
Green Light for Czech Agrivoltaics
The Czech legislator has introduced the legal regulation of agrivoltaic power plants and thus set the conditions for their implementation. As of January 1, 2025, an amendment to the Agricultural Land Fund Protection Act and the related special decree on agrivoltaic power plant came into force.
Debt Collection Made Faster
The amendment to the Civil Procedure Code introduces significant changes that will affect not only the courts but also creditors and debtors. While creditors will benefit from a faster and more efficient process in obtaining an enforceable title, debtors should be aware of the increased attention required for the delivery of court documents, particularly when delivered to data boxes.
