KŠB Contributes to the European Privacy Publication
Lawyers at KŠB (an Employment Law Alliance member) contributed to the publication by writing the sections on Czech privacy laws. The handbook provides answers to questions such as under what circumstances personal data on employees can be transferred to a parent company based in a country outside of the European Economic Area, what rights employee representatives have in terms of employee monitoring, and what the new European legislation’s (drafting pending) impact will be on privacy protection. There is also a chapter on whether an employer can terminate an employee under Czech law if the employee shares derogatory comments on the employer or other employees on social networks.
The publication is available in English here.

The primary declared objective is the acceleration of construction, particularly regarding residential buildings.
