What is the newest issue of the employer newsletter about?

• Topic 1: Employment agreements do not have to be in writing – they can be electronic

The Labour Code does not specify invalidity of the employment agreement in the event of failing to execute it in writing. An email exchange is enough to conclude the agreement. 

Paper is not needed in many HR processes. Together with Maruta Wachta we eliminate paper from HR. How does it work? Find out on the Paperless in HR website.

• Topic 2: Employers should review their evaluation of occupational risk

Employer is obligated to make regular checks and document the occupational risk associated with the work and apply the requisite means of prevention. Especially now it is important due to risk of becoming infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

• Topic 3: Employers still have an obligation to ensure 1.5 meters distance between workstations 

This obligation was upheld in the regulation of 7 August 2020. However, there are certain exceptions. 

• Topic 4: Employers are obligated to re-hire an employee dismissed without observing the term of notice period

Re-hiring does not have to take place according to the previous conditions, in particular, it does not have to be for the same position and for no lesser pay.

• Topic 5: Blanket consents to deduct amounts due from an employee’s salary are invalid

Employee should know about the amount to be deducted when signing the consent. Otherwise the consent is invalid.
