Employee wage claims in the case of employer insolvency

Summary/Abstract: Act No. 118/2000 Coll., on the Protection of Employees following the Insolvency of the Employer, provides a significant legal guarantee for employees whose employer has ceased to pay salaries due to insolvency. The Act incorporates the relevant European Community provisions and regulates the protection of employees in cases where the employer is unable to meet salary obligations. The main European regulation relates to Council Directive 80/987/EEC of 20 October 1980 on the convergence of the legislation of Member States concerning the protection of employees in the event of employer insolvency and an amendment to the Directive, i.e. European Parliament and Council Directive 2002/74/EC of 23 September 2002. The Czech Act declares the right of the employee to the satisfaction of valid wage claims that are not respected by an insolvent employer by the Labour Office to the extent and under the conditions laid down by legislation.
