A significant number of employers already have anti-mobbing procedures in place. However, the new legislation requires employers with at least 10 employees to establish rules, procedures and the frequency of their actions aimed at preventing violations of employees\u2019 dignity and other personal rights, as well as breaches of the principle of equal treatment in employment, discrimination and mobbing.<\/p>\n
These rules should be set out in a collective bargaining agreement, work regulations or separate internal regulations.<\/p>\n
Employers should review their existing procedures in light of the new legislation. A new requirement is the need to regulate the frequency of employers\u2019 preventive measures. Until now, such matters have not been regulated in internal policies.<\/p>\n
Employers have six months from when the legislation enters into force, i.e. from 5 November 2026, in which to adapt their work regulations to the new requirements or adopt new regulations.<\/p>\n
