As of March 2025, the Czech Ministry of Labor has introduced additional obligations for employers concerning the registration of foreign workers. These changes aim to enhance compliance with labor and immigration regulations.
🔸Mandatory Labor Office Registration at Residence Permit Renewal: Employers are now required to notify the Labor Office not only at the time of hiring foreign workers but also upon the renewal of an employee’s residence permit. This notification must include the new residence permit number and be submitted online on or before the first day the renewed permit takes effect. Employers must retain proof of this submission.
🔸Expanded Scope of Notification: The obligation to notify the Labor Office applies to all foreign workers, including EU/EEA/Swiss nationals, hired locally. Notifications must detail the entry and termination dates of employment and be submitted online on or before the first day of work.
🔸Review Internal Procedures: Employers should assess and update their internal processes to ensure timely compliance with the new notification requirements.
🔸Maintain Accurate Records: It’s crucial to keep thorough records of all submissions to the Labor Office, including confirmations of online notifications.
🔸Stay Informed: Regularly consult official sources or legal advisors to stay updated on any further changes to labor and immigration laws.
Failure to comply with these updated obligations may result in penalties. Employers are encouraged to take proactive steps to align with the new requirements and avoid potential legal issues.
