Working parents

Prepared by AmCham member: Čarnogurský ULC

Changes in the Labor Code in recent years have brought significant improvements for working parents. According to the Labor Code, pregnant women and families with newborn children are considered a critical group of employees. Modern governments have made support for families a priority in their government program statements. The consequences of these government actions are reflected particularly in legal provisions related to maternity and parental leave and in giving parents the opportunity to return to employment.
