Working from home, also known as home office, has become increasingly common and popular among both employees and employers. Nonetheless, the rules for this type of work have not yet been specified in the Czech Labour Code.
That should change from April 2017 with an amendment to the law by the Czech Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, including measures related primarily to home office safety and compensation costs.
In recent months, the Czech media has published a number of negative reactions from employers, particularly from the field of IT and e-commerce, as well as political parties (e.g. the Pirate Party), that were afraid of the amendment burying the existence of home office in an effort to protect employees.
