Statni urad inspekce prace zverejnil plan kontrol pro rok 2024

The State Labour Inspection Office has published the inspection plan for 2024

The State Labour Inspection Office ("SLOI"), together with the regional labour inspectorates, is the inspection supervisory body mainly in the area of compliance with labour-law regulations and compliance with employees' rights arising from collective bargaining agreements and internal regulations issued in accordance with the Labour Code. For this purpose the SLOI draws up the annual programme of inspection actions.

The inspection plan should be based primarily on the current situation on the labour market, on the strategies and recommendations of the European Union, on the priorities of the National Action Programme for Occupational Safety and Health at Work, but also on the results of analyses of occupational accidents, on the lodged complaints for inspection and on practical knowledge from the inspection activities of labour inspection bodies.

According to the published programme of inspection actions, in 2024, the SLOI will carry out inspections in the following areas:

• employment;
• labour relations and working conditions; and
• safety at work.

This year's inspection plan continues to focus on the same areas that the SLOI has been focusing on in a long term.

At least 6,700 employment inspections will be carried out this year, focusing on:

• disguised employment mediation;
• illegal employment of Czech citizens, EU citizens and foreigners from third countries;
• equal treatment and non-discrimination when exercising the right to employment;
• compliance with the compulsory proportion of employment of persons with disabilities; and
• the provision of childcare services in a children's group.

At least 3,800 inspections are to be carried out this year in the area of labour relations and working conditions, focusing in particular on:

• equal treatment of employees, including equal pay and compliance with the prohibition of discrimination;
• remuneration of employees, with emphasis on the provision of the minimum salary and the guaranteed salary;
• compliance with working and rest periods;
• compliance with agency work obligations;
• compliance with the rules on the posting of employees for the provision of transnational services;
• compliance with working conditions when employing workers from abroad; or
• employers' compliance with certain whistleblower protection obligations.

SLOI plans to carry out at least 8,700 inspections in the field of safety at work this year, focusing mainly on:

• safety at work in hazardous work areas, such as construction or transport;
• inspections under the Safe Enterprise Programme; or
• investigations of causes and circumstances of selected accidents at work.

We continue to monitor further developments in this area and will keep you informed. If you would like more detailed information, please contact the authors of this article or other members of EY Law or the EY team with whom you work.
