Employers encounter a misunderstanding of some guidelines when filling out wage claims, and therefore often make significant mistakes.
The lower house of the Czech parliament voted on Tuesday to extend a state of emergency until May 17, a week less than the government had sought, as the country charts a course to emerge from a coronavirus lockdown earlier than forecast. The extension is a week shorter than the government sought. The prime minister, Andrej Babiš, had asked for an extension until 25 May to be able to keep restrictions on business in place. The state of emergency was due to expire on 30 April. The government of Andrej Babiš and the Social Democrats have been trying to secure sufficient support for the extension, but the opposition parties remained firmly against it. It has announced that it now expects to reopen the economy faster than previously forecast, although not in time for the deadline now set by parliament. Babis said after the vote that the government would seek legal amendments to keep some restrictions in place after the state of emergency ends, news agency CTK reported. The state of emergency allows the government to adopt measures to slow the spread of the new coronavirus, such as limitations on free movement inside the country and across borders, shop and restaurant closures, and...
Three weeks ago, a Russian intelligence operative flew to Prague. He was driven directly from Prague airport by a Russian diplomatic car to the Russian Embassy in Prague, carrying a suitcase with „ricin“ poison, according to Czech intelligence sources. The news is reported by Czech newspaper Respekt. The politicians under protection are the Mayor of Prague Zdeněk Hřib and the Prague 6 Mayo Ondřej Kolář. Both of them have been confronting the Kremlin authorities in recent months. The Mayor of Prague Hřib approved the renaming of a square where the Russian Embassy is located after slain Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov. The council voted on the measure on February 24, changing Pod Kastany Square to Boris Nemtsov Square. The name officially changes on February 27 — the fifth anniversary of Nemtsov’s killing. On April 22, the Mayor’s spokesperson Martina Vacková informed the Czech media that Hřib was put under police protection. “The reasons and specific protection methods cannot be commented, following the decision of the police. For security reasons, the Mayor is currently unable to use public transport,” said Vacková. A few weeks later, Prague’s District 6 council removed the statue of Ivan Stepanovic Konev, a World War II commander,...
Global leaders are launching an initiative with the World Health Organization (WHO) to accelerate the development of coronavirus drugs, tests, and vaccines and ensure equal access to all countries. “I represented the Czech Republic at a videoconference with prime ministers and presidents from Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Austria, Denmark, Norway, and Greece,” said PM Andrej Babis. Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said that “these countries reacted quickly and intensively and so have come through the crisis better than others”. “The geography is very different but they are smaller countries, smart countries,” Kurz said, adding that the conference had focused on “how countries can best start up again, stimulate the economy and keep the virus under control at the same time”. Kurz also said researchers from the countries in the group would be co-operating on work towards a possible vaccine and other treatments. The aim was for the countries concerned to avoid becoming dependent on global superpowers in reacting to the crisis. Singapore is also part of the group but its prime minister could not take part in the conference due to technical difficulties. “The world needs these tools and needs them fast,” WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the group. “We...
The Czech Minister of Health, Adam Vojtech, shared his predictions about the full opening of borders, the return of tourists, music, cultural events, and the use of face masks. Face masks “I am convinced that the compulsory use of masks, was an effective measure. The Czech Republic was a pioneer in Europe on this matter (Slovakia introduced a similar injunction a week later). We have not won, the virus is still spreading. Masks must be compulsory for at least another two months”. “At the end of June, an easing of compulsory facemask wearing could be put in place, depending on surrounding factors, such as for artists who are unable to work due to facemasks.” Restaurants “We have to think about how restaurants will work. In the very beginning, there will be a limited number of tables and costumers allowed. If we talk about masks, it is logical that they can not always wear them. While people eat or drink, the mask should hang around the neck.” Borders “This summer will not be the same as in previous years. We are negotiating with countries where the risk is relatively low, especially with Croatia, Austria, and Slovakia, but we still have to...

According to Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, the possibility of traveling outside the Czech border is "only theoretical".
The Czech government lifted a ban on its citizens traveling abroad for reasons other than work following an improvement in conditions of the coronavirus outbreak.
A Prague court has canceled some restrictive measures approved by the Czech government to contain the coronavirus pandemic. Prague’s Municipal Court has ruled that the government’s restrictions limiting movement and shutting down retail businesses are illegal. Thursday’s verdict is final. The court ruled after a complaint by medical expert Ondrej Dostal, who questioned the legality of those measures. The restrictions were imposed by the Health Ministry. The court said the government should have approved the restrictions as part of its crisis measures under the state of emergency rules. It said a single ministry cannot have such right. Health Minister Adam Vojtěch said the government will try to comply with the ruling while maintaining restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the new coronavirus. The government has until Monday to adopt the measures again and in line with law. xosotin chelseathông tin chuyển nhượngcâu lạc bộ bóng đá arsenalbóng đá atalantabundesligacầu thủ haalandUEFAevertonfutebol ao vivofutemaxmulticanaisonbetbóng đá world cupbóng đá inter milantin juventusbenzemala ligaclb leicester cityMUman citymessi lionelsalahnapolineymarpsgronaldoserie atottenhamvalenciaAS ROMALeverkusenac milanmbappenapolinewcastleaston villaliverpoolfa cupreal madridpremier leagueAjaxbao bong da247EPLbarcelonabournemouthaff cupasean footballbên lề sân cỏbáo bóng đá mớibóng đá cúp thế giớitin bóng đá ViệtUEFAbáo bóng đá việt namHuyền thoại bóng đágiải ngoại hạng anhSeagametap...
Czech PM Andrej Babiš sees no reason to extend the State of Emergency, which expires on April 30. The government will discuss it further on Thursday. According to Babiš, the whole ANO party will vote unanimously against the extension. However, ČSSD chairman and the head of the country’s Central Crisis Staff, has repeatedly stated that an “extension of the State of Emergency would be necessary.” “If the Prime Minister does not want to extend the State of Emergency, then it makes no sense to ask the government. I will order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare the documents to stop the centralized distribution of protective equipment by April 30,” wrote Hamáček on Twitter. “>Můj dopis panu premiérovi, v němž vysvětluji důvody pro pokračování nouzového stavu: pic.twitter.com/jCNvzj1Fkl — Jan Hamáček (@jhamacek) April 21, 2020 Hamáček warned that it would no longer be possible, for instance, to purchase protective equipment centrally or to control the regime at the country’s borders. Minister of Labor Jana Maláčová (ČSSD) is also skeptical about the consequences of the end of the State of Emergency on April 30. “If this happens, I want to know how to protect the elderly after the emergency, how we will...

The Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) has approved a € 300 million loan to the Czech Republic to finance health expenditure to combat the spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Czech Republic was quick to undertake COVID-19 protective measures in January before any confirmed cases were reported in the country. The CEB loan will support the Czech government in furthering its efforts to mitigate the spread and impact of COVID-19 by covering 90% of the total cost required in the immediate term. It will enable the acquisition of medical material and equipment, including tests, ventilators, and respirators as well as protective equipment for frontline staff. The loan may also cover the rehabilitation and conversion of spaces, medical units, and hospitals to meet current emergency healthcare needs. CEB Governor Rolf Wenzel said: “In light of this unprecedented pandemic, the Bank has mobilised additional human and financial resources to ensure that it is in a position to assist its member countries in the best possible way.
