Summary/Abstract: The minimum wage is the lowest amount of remuneration that employers are allowed to provide for work performed by their employees. It concerns all types of employment relationships - regular employment contracts and legal relationships based on agreements for work performed outside an employment relationship. The basic legal regulation of the minimum wage and lowest guaranteed wage levels are set out in Sections 111 and 112 of Act No. 262/2006 Coll., the Labour Code, as amended. The amount of the basic minimum wage, the conditions for the provision thereof and the amount of guaranteed wage rates are set by means of Government Decree No. 567/2006 Coll. New legislation, with effect from 1 January 2019, increased the basic rate of the minimum wage for a fixed weekly working time of 40 hours from the previous CZK 12,200 to CZK 13,350, i.e. by CZK 1,150 - a year-on-year increase of 9,4 %.
