A new definition of workplace bullying is on the horizon – what will change for employers?

The government is finalising work on a draft amendment to the Labour Code, which redefines the concepts of mobbing and discrimination.

The changes are intended to tighten regulations and provide greater protection for employees, but for companies they mean that they will have to adapt their rules and procedures within six months of the law coming into force.

The most important changes:

• a new definition of mobbing, which also covers unintentional actions,
• the introduction of the concept of discrimination by association and assumption,
• minimum compensation – at least three times the minimum wage,
• the obligation to update work regulations and anti-mobbing policies.

Any unclear situation in employee relations may now result in a higher risk of claims.
