🇨🇿 Czech Government approves pay-transparency bill with changes

The Czech Government approved Labour Code amendment 559/26 with changes on 31 August. MPSV's post-approval summary confirms the 100+ reporting model, recruitment and information duties and the 5% assessment trigger, while the final approved text and resolution are still pending in ODok.

The bill advanced from a proposal awaiting the cabinet decision to a Government-approved proposal. The authoritative MPSV summary now confirms minimum-remuneration disclosure before employment begins rather than mandatory job-ad range publication, objective equal-value job-group rules, 100+ reporting using JMHZ/MPSV, anonymised aggregate public output and the 5%/six-month detailed-assessment mechanics. ODok remains state 9, so the exact wording changed from the 14 July draft cannot yet be compared.

Czech employers should prepare around the approved policy design but should not treat the broader package as enacted law. All employers should prepare recruitment disclosure, salary-history and objective pay-system processes; 100+ employers should prioritise reporting data readiness. Exact drafting should be revalidated when ODok publishes the final Government-approved version and the bill enters Parliament.
