abstract
On 9 October 2001, the Private Employment Agencies Convention, No. 181 of the International Labour Organization, came into force in the Czech Republic (hereinafter “the Convention”). The Convention regulates i.e. the area of the so called agency employment, i.e. the services consisting in the engaging by private employment companies of the workers who shall provide services to a third party which can be a natural as well as a juridical person (the so called recipient enterprise), and specifies the workers’ tasks and controls their performance. ln the legal system of the Czech Republic, the regulation of agency work is still missing; however, even though the legal framework for agency employment has not been established in this country, the private employment companies have been operating in the Czech territory for a number of years. After a brief introduction, in its following part the article is concerned with the current policies of the private employment companies in carrying on the agency employment in the territory of the Czech Republic. The article does not confine itself only to analysing this issue from the labour law point of view, but in some contexts, it also looks at selected commercial and tax law aspects of the present practices of the staffing companies in agency employment. Further on, the contribution deals with the proposed regulation of agency employment which is presently in the stage of legislative process as part of the government proposal for the new employment law. Even though the article appreciates as positive the fact of finally having the concept of agency employment regulated in the legal system of the Czech Republic, it, however, is in particular concerned with critical evaluation of some of the items of the proposed legislation and it presents reflections on the character of the regulation and its position in the system. It also reviews some of the legislative measures associated with the agency employment regulation in the proposed bill.
