Working Hours
Employees can work up to 40 hours a week.
From 1 January 2025, an employee is permitted to "self-schedule" their working hours if there is a written agreement between the employee and the employer setting out the conditions and limits for the employee. The employer will also need to set an alternative fixed schedule of working hours to be used in cases of sickness and of any other impediments at work. Under a self-scheduling regime, the employee is not entitled to salary compensation for certain short-term impediments at work, such as doctor's appointments. The agreement on self-scheduling may be terminated by both parties for any or no reason with 15 days' notice period.
Minimum Wage
Currently, the minimum wage is CZK 18,900 per month (assuming a 40-hour normal working week), and CZK 112.50 per hour.
From January 2025, the minimum wage will rise to CZK 20,800 per month and CZK 124.40 per hour.
