Employment and Immigration Law

Do you employ people in the Czech Republic or relocate your team here and need your employment documentation, HR processes, and residence/work authorisations set up so they work in practice — and also withstand an inspection, audit, or dispute.

Do you employ people in the Czech Republic (or relocate your team here) and need your employment documentation, HR processes, and residence/work authorisations set up so they work in practice—and also withstand an inspection, audit, or dispute? We help you implement clear, predictable rules aligned with your business needs.

PROXIMA LEGAL supports you from day-to-day HR matters through sensitive situations (reorganisations, terminations, disputes) and also provides the legal framework for employing foreign nationals and managing cross-border mobility.

How we can support you

1) Employment law and HR

  • employment contracts, agreements (DPP/DPČ), executive/management contracts, and compensation structures (bonuses, commissions, KPIs)
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs)
  • internal regulations and HR policies (work rules, home office/remote work, occupational health & safety, benefits, use of company assets)
  • working time, overtime, obstacles to work/leave situations, vacation/holiday entitlement, travel expenses
  • employment terminations (mutual terminations, notices, immediate termination), dispute prevention and negotiation support
  • reorganisations and collective changes (headcount optimisation, organisational changes, transfers of activities)
  • employment disputes, labour inspections, and HR crisis management
  • HR audits and “corporate hygiene” (review of documentation, risks, and actual practice)
  • internal investigations and employee-related compliance (including whistleblowing processes)

2) Immigration law and employee mobility

  • relocation of employees to the Czech Republic (strategy, timeline, supporting documents, process management)
  • residence and work permits for third-country nationals (typically employee cards, Blue Cards, intra-company transfers)
  • short-term and long-term stays, extensions and changes of purpose, family members
  • secondment/posting of workers and cross-border mobility (contractual set-up and coordination of key obligations)
  • representation in administrative proceedings and support in complex cases (refusals, interruptions, loss/termination of status, etc.)

Typical matters we handle

  • rapid hiring and the need to standardise employment contracts and internal HR rules
  • sensitive terminations, problematic employees/managers, dispute prevention
  • team reorganisations or changes in company structure
  • expansion into the Czech Republic and hiring your first employees “from scratch”
  • relocation of specialists from abroad and setting up a repeatable process for HR/management
