Internal Labour Rules and Their Role
The foundation of disciplinary liability is often the internal labour rules: the employer is entitled to adopt internal labour rules and is obliged to familiarize employees with them. This written document may define the duration of the working week and working day and rest time, the time, place and manner of remuneration, the rules for paid and unpaid leave, the protection of working conditions, the forms of incentives and liability and the rules of their application, as well as the procedure for examining applications and complaints. Specific rules may also be adopted in view of the specifics of the work.
The law also sets boundaries here: the employer must ensure the principle of equal treatment of employees and reflect anti-discrimination provisions in the internal rules and other documents, must facilitate the realization of the rights of persons with disabilities, and any provision of the internal rules that contradicts the law, the individual or collective employment contract is void.
