Legal Explanation Regarding Contract Amendments (Salary
Adjustments)
In accordance with Act No. 262/2006 Coll., the Labour Code of the
Czech Republic, please note the following legal requirements:
Section 34(1):
"An employment contract must be concluded in writing. The
same applies to any amendments or supplements. Each contracting party must
receive one copy."
This means that any change to the salary (if originally
specified in the employment contract) must be:
in written form
in the form of a formal
addendum to the contract
signed by both parties
Section 36:
"An employment contract becomes valid on the date it is
signed by both parties."
The same condition applies to any addendum. If it is not
signed by both parties, it has no legal validity.
In summary:
Any salary change (e.g. an increase) must be made through a
written, mutually signed addendum.
A change is not legally valid without the signatures of both
the employer and the employee.
