Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the issue of the amendment to the Czech Labour Code, effective as of 1. 4. 2017. The authors focus on the main advantages of the amendment, but also discuss the divergent attitudes of the representatives of employees and employers towards the amendment. The article contains annotations of the individual changes to the Labour Code, with a focus on those based on the idea of flexicurity.
