Sport and labour law
Pavlík, David ; Pichrt, Jan (advisor) ; Tomšej, Jakub (referee)
1 Title of the thesis: Sport and labour law Abstract The subject of this thesis is to analyse the legal regulation in the Czech Republic in the field of sport and to evaluate its status. In the Czech Republic, the legal status of professional athletes still differs from the practice applied in most other European Union countries. In the Czech Republic, professional athletes in team sports are still in the position of self-employed persons, although these athletes are guaranteed the status of employees across Europe. The first chapter deals with the definition of basic concepts related to the sports sector. These concepts include in particular the definition of the term sport itself and its possible subdivisions. The second chapter introduces the entities that occur within the sports sector. These are mainly sports organisations that operate in a so-called pyramid structure. It also includes sports clubs, coaches and agents. The third chapter deals with the National Sports Agency, the reasons for its creation, its legislation and its institutions. The author describes the development of the Agency over the last almost 5 years and critically evaluates its activities. The fourth chapter deals with the function of the European Union in relation to the regulation of the sports sector. Furthermore, the author...

Jonas, Jiří ; Pichrt, Jan (advisor) ; Tomšej, Jakub (referee)
Interní informace Abstract Title of thesis: The nature of the work of professional athletes with a focus on football This thesis deals with the issue of the status of professional athletes from the perspective of labour law with a detailed focus on professional athletes of collective sports, especially football players. The main question examined is whether the nature of the work of athletes in collective sports fulfils the characteristics of dependent work under the Labour Code or whether it is an independent activity. The first part of the thesis is theoretical and introduces the issues of sport and law. In the second part, the author examines the compatibility of sport and labour law and then discusses the position of the professional athlete from the perspective of the Czech legal system and the case law of the Supreme Administrative Court. The author concluded that professional athletes could act as employees or as self-employed persons and explained the advantages of these different statuses. On the issue of dependence, he concluded that the nature of the activity of a professional athlete in team sports fulfils such features, but that the Labour Code cannot be applied to these relationships because of some of its institutes, which the author described in his work. The third part of the lever is then...

Doušová, Jana ; Pichrt, Jan (advisor) ; Brádlerová, Libuše (referee) ; Štefko, Martin (referee)
A Job Seeker and the Labour Office of the Czech Republic Abstract The PhD thesis focuses primarily on the legal regulation of the Employment Act affecting the issue of job seekers within the activities of the Labour office, especially in the process of employment intermediation and in receiving unemployment benefits. The introductory theoretical interpretation of the fundamental social right guaranteed by the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, i.e. the right to work, is followed by a treatise on unemployment and its development. A compact overview of this issue is given by a summary of the concept of employment policy in the Czech Republic and within the European Union and its state management within the Czech Republic. The main part of the thesis presents an analysis of individual provisions of the Employment Act from the practical point of view of the job seeker. It defines his rights and obligations starting by submitting an application for mediation of suitable employment to the Labor office register. These are discussed in detail in relation to the main instruments that the job seeker may encounter during registration, such as "appropriate employment", "serious reasons", "temporary incapacity to work", "non- conflicting employment", "illegal work", etc. The thesis contains a detailed analysis...

Protective function of labour law in the case law orf Czech courts
Vopelka, Adam ; Pichrt, Jan (advisor) ; Tomšej, Jakub (referee)
The title of the thesis: Protective function of labour law in the case law of Czech courts Abstract: This thesis focuses on the protective function of labour law in the case law of Czech courts. The protective function of labour law is one of its essential functions and has a close relation to employee protection as the weaker party of employment relationships. Courts as public authorities and decisions-making bodies significantly affect the final form of the protective function, while providing protection to the rights of employees. Considering the fact that the protective function is immanent to labour law and the case law of Czech courts further develops, in my opinion, this thesis deals with a topical and evolving issue. The content of this thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter describes the meaning of protective function in labour law, its role as a fundamental principle of employment relationships, and legal consequences related to it. Its part is also the brief explanation of the concept of "flexicurity". The second, third and fourth chapter deal with three fields of labour law, in which the protective function is significantly reflected. These fields are remuneration, employee protection against dismissal and working conditions including OSH. In each of these chapters...

Trade union plurality at an employer
Kalina, Vojtěch ; Tomšej, Jakub (advisor) ; Pichrt, Jan (referee)
Trade union plurality at an employer Abstract In this thesis I deal with the issue of trade union plurality at an employer. In the thesis I describe the role of trade unions and the development of the legal regulation of their plurality. In doing so, I analyse the conclusions of the Constitutional Court expressed in the ruling Pl. ÚS 83/06 and its implications for current and possible future legislation. I also describe the problematic aspects of the current legislation in this area. These problems concern both the representation of non-unionised employees in individual matters and, in particular, collective bargaining. The aim of the thesis was to try to suggest possible options for solving the current unsatisfactory state of the legislation. The thesis analyses three basic options for dealing with trade union plurality in the context of collective bargaining. These are the introduction of the majority principle in some form, the involvement of employees by way of voting, and allowing for the existence of multiple collective agreements at a single employer. Changing the conditions for starting of functioning of a trade union at an employer is mentioned as an additional option. Finally, I discuss the possibility of addressing problematic aspects in the context of a situation where a trade union is to...
