Workers will learn company salaries, while new rules target couriers: What EU changes mean

Employees in Czech companies will gain access to more information about pay, while couriers working through digital platforms will face new rules under changes prompted by the European Union.

The Czech government approved both measures on Monday. One concerns a long-discussed directive on transparent and fair remuneration. The other updates the legal framework for platform work, an area that includes couriers.

The pay-transparency rules have been debated for years, but their transfer into Czech law has fallen behind schedule. The government’s approval now sets the process in motion, although the description does not specify when the changes will take effect or what penalties may apply.

Together, the measures represent two EU labor-law changes that will soon be reflected in Czech legislation.
