Employees and employment law
Employment matters for employers, including cross-border arrangements.
We represent employers. We prepare employment contracts and internal documentation, guide you through termination of employment (the highest-risk HR operation) and structure cooperation with self-employed contractors so it does not become dependent work.
Our specialism is cross-border employment SK ↔ CZ: postings, home working from the other country and overlapping legal regimes that most firms know from only one side of the border.
