Reporting of foreign employees
A significant change in the reporting of foreign employees arriving in the Czech Republic was already implemented during 2024. It will no longer be possible to report foreign employees to the locally competent Labor Offices of the Czech Republic. Instead, reporting must be done through the electronic portal, with the Labor Inspectorate in Opava now serving as the new administrator.
The rules are governed by EU directives (96/71 / EC, 2014/67 / EU, 2018/957 / EU) and Czech laws, in particular the Labor Code and the Employment Act. Foreign employers are obliged to comply with the notification obligation no later than the day of the employee's arrival at work, to report changes within 10 days and to notify the termination of the posting.
Short business visits (e.g. conferences) are not considered secondments and are not subject to notification. Violation of these rules may result in a fine of up to CZK 100,000.
