At the end of April 2025, the amendment, the so-called Flexi Reform, to the Labor Code was approved, bringing significant changes to labor relations. For instance, the probationary period is extended to four months; the notice period now begins to run on the day the notice is delivered, not from the first day of the following month after its delivery. Together, the notice period is shortened for dismissal for disciplinary reasons (violation of work duties), to one month.

Parents on parental leave will have the opportunity to conclude an agreement on services/work activities or an agreement to complete a job for the same type of work as they have in their employment contract, with their employer. When returning, if they return before the child is two years old, they are guaranteed to return to the same working position and workplace (so-called “to the same chair and desk”).

There are, of course, more changes in labor law as a result of the amendment, and the vast majority of them will come into effect as of June 1, 2025; so it is a good idea to prepare for these changes properly.

Do not leave assessing and reviewing labor-law documentation to the last minute – it is better to have it checked in time and, if necessary, modified or to have other suitable solutions proposed.
