Parliament is working on amendments to the Labour Code and the Company Social Benefits Fund Act. One of the changes affects only non-unionised employers. Currently, if such an employer intends to implement or amend ZFŚS regulations, discontinue social activities, or introduce a different contribution (higher or lower), they may agree this with just one employee representative. According to the draft proposal, there would have to be at least two representatives.

Employers should already be checking how many employee representatives are in the company; if there is only one, it would be worth holding democratic, general elections of at least one more representative. This will allow the company to function smoothly once the new provisions enter into force.
