Božek, Michal ; Vysokajová, Margerita (advisor) ; Štangová, Věra (referee)
The aim of my thesis is to explain the meaning of the expression "non- competition clause" and to analyse its legal regulation in Czech labour law. The reason why I chose this topic is that non-competition clause is a very dynamic subject with a lot of changes in a historical point of view as you can see above. First of all, non-competition clause is an instrument of labour law which protects an employer against the abuse of the company's confidential information, knowledge and other know-how by the employee. According to the Czech legislation, non- competition clause means a voluntary agreement between employer and employee whose purpose is to protect employer's interests by reducing employee's job opportunities which would have a competitive character to the employer after the determination of an employment with the employee. There are several conditions need to be achieved in order to conclude a valid non- competition clause. For example, this contract needs to be agreed in writing. Secondly, the non-competition clause may be valid for only a certain period of time, not exceeding one year. Moreover, an employer is obliged to pay the employee some kind of a financial compensation every month. The amount of this compensation needs to be at least one average monthly salary of the employee. This...

Employment of foreigners in the Czech republic
Smrčinová, Zuzana ; Vysokajová, Margerita (advisor) ; Štangová, Věra (referee)
The Czech Republic has recently experienced an unprecedented influx of foreigners into its territory. The majority of those people come because of work opportunities. This phenomenon raises the questions of how to best regulate this influx and how to set the conditions under which these people work, so as to be a benefit and not a burden for society. The Czech Republic has set strict rules in order to prevent the foreigners from negatively affecting the domestic labour market. However, stricter the conditions are, the risk of law infringement is higher. For this reason, the main goal of the Czech legislation concerning the employment of foreigners should be the setting of effective rules in order to enable the state to benefit from the foreigner labour market, while simultaneously ensuring that there are adequate control mechanisms to prevent any infringements of the law. The aim of this thesis is to describe the Czech legislation concerning the employment of foreigners, to highlight the current problems and also the challenges for the future, to draw a comparison between the Czech and Australian legislation and to make further recommendations for the Czech Republic. This thesis is composed of four chapters. The first chapter is introductory and defines the basic terminology relevant to the topic such as...

In concrete, this thesis deals with the processing of personal data in the employment context and with the surveillance of employees. The aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive overview of this issue and assess the current level of protection of privacy of employees in Czech Republic. The thesis is composed of nine chapters. The first introductory part of this thesis (chapters 2 - 4) describes the fundamental human right to privacy and personal data protection in general.
