Gamification from the perspective of labor law (CZ)
Nov 2025
Gamification of work is a modern trend that promises to increase employee motivation and productivity by using game elements in the workplace. However, its introduction into the work environment raises a number of labor law issues.

New Critical Infrastructure Act in relation to the new Cybersecurity Act (CZ)
Oct 2025
On August 19, 2025, a completely new Act 266/2025 Coll., on the resilience of critical infrastructure entities and on amendments to related acts (hereinafter referred to as the “ZoKI”) entered into force. This Act removes the issue of critical infrastructure from the current Crisis Act and introduces a separate legal regulation of the resilience of critical entities. The new regulation responds in particular to the requirements of Directive (EU) 2022/2557 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 on the resilience of critical entities and repealing Council Directive 2008/114/EC (hereinafter referred to as the “CER”), which it transposes into the Czech legal order. The aim of the ZoKI is to strengthen the resilience of basic services necessary for the functioning of the state and thus prepare the Czech Republic for current threats, such as cyber attacks or sabotage of critical systems.

E-invoicing in light of the ViDA directive and national regulations (CZ)
Mar 2025
At the end of last year, the Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN) approved the text of the ViDA (VAT in the digital age) directive at its meeting.

The purpose of this text is to introduce readers to the basic elements of e-invoicing, including an outline of their impacts on companies doing business in the EU.

For the purposes of this article, e-invoicing systems in Germany and Poland were selected. National systems are already being implemented in these countries.
