Employment contract in the Czech Republic for foreign workers

A Czech employer must document the employment relationship in writing. Foreign employees need to understand the Czech text even if the form is filled in English.

Mandatory content

The Labour Code requires type of work, place of work and day of starting work as minimum essentials.

Salary, working time, probation and benefits are typically added — unclear clauses cause disputes.

If you are a foreign employee

Work permits and employee cards are handled with authorities separately — the employment contract alone does not grant residence.

Keep copies in Czech; you may ask for a summary translation for your own understanding.
