The flexible amendment to the Labour Code is effective from 1 June 2025. It changes a number of well-established rules of labour law, not only in the Labour Code itself, but additionally in eight other acts. Are you interested in what changes it brings, among others?
1. Notice period
- The new notice period starts on the day the notice is delivered.
- It can be reduced to one month when the employer gives notice because the employee is no longer qualified to do the job or because the employee has breached his or her duties.
2. Wage confidentiality
- Employers are no longer allowed to impose wage confidentiality on employees.
- Wage confidentiality clauses in employment contracts and agreements are unenforceable from 1 June 2025, and employers may be fined for them.
- If you use wage confidentiality clauses, you should either enter into addendums with employees or formally inform them that the clauses are no longer valid and will not be enforced.
3. Longer probationary period
- Up to 4 months for regular employees.
- Up to 8 months for managers.
- A shorter probationary period agreed after 1 June 2025 can be extended, even repeatedly, up to the maximum legal length, by the agreement with the employee during the probationary period.

"We express our recommendations for the law firm Holubova Advokati.
Holubova Advokati was able to resolve a project for us with confidence, composure, and perseverance that German experts had deemed hopeless.
About 80 years ago, my grandparents and my father had to leave their home. The property has now been returned to our family through the inheritance that was initiated, and thanks to the excellent work of the law firm.
During the two-and-a-half-year negotiations, there were no language problems; everyone was always well informed about the current status.
Keep up the good work, everyone."

"What I appreciate most about working with Holubová Advokáti is their high level of expertise, clear guidance throughout the entire process, and their human approach. My case was complex and emotionally demanding, but Mrs. Dvořáková and Mr. Formánek treated me with the utmost care and sensitivity. Thanks to their precise work, we achieved a successful outcome, and I can therefore recommend this firm with complete confidence to anyone seeking legal representation of the highest standard."
