Abstract
The chapter deals with the issue of some dysfunctions that were revealed (not only) in the Czech labour law as a result of the coronavirus crisis. It draws attention to the absence of any legislative reactions to the coronavirus crisis, especially with regard to the latest conceptual amendment to the Labour Code, which apparently has not changed in a form that would not at least burden the Czech employers and employees financially and administratively in the coming difficult times.
It deals in detail with the topic of unsatisfactory legal regulation of impediments to the performance of work on the part of the employer, at the same time submits de lege ferenda ideas for example on the functional regulation of home-working, electronic delivery and use of electronic signatures in labour relations and modification of the provisions of Sec 110 of the Labour Code. In this chapter, the author also essentially mentions the absence of the possibility of out-of-court settlement of labour disputes.
