Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws,
this monograph on labour law in Czech Republic not only describes and
analyses the legal aspects of labour relations, but also examines labour
relations practices and developing trends. It provides a survey of the subject
that is both usefully brief and sufficiently detailed to answer most questions
likely to arise in any pertinent legal setting. Both individual and collective
labour relations are covered in ample detail, with attention to such
underlying and pervasive factors employment contracts, suspension of the
contracts, dismissal laws and covenant of non-competition, as well as
international private law.
The author describes all important details of the law governing hours and
wages, benefits, intellectual property implications, trade union activity,
employers’ associations, workers’ participation, collective bargaining,
industrial disputes, and much more. Building on a clear overview of labour law
and labour relations, the book offers practical guidance on which sound
preliminary decisions may be based.
It will find a ready readership among lawyers representing parties with
interests in Czech Republic, and academics and researchers will appreciate its
value in the study of comparative trends in laws affecting labour and labour
relations.
