Law
of 16 May 1946
the adjustment of the working conditions affected by the consequences of the national revolution.
The Provisional National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic decided on the following Act:
§ 1.
(1) If the employment relationship arising from the consequences of the national revolution prior to the effectiveness of this Act is effectively terminated in any way because there has been a reasonable suspicion against the employee of a criminal offence under the decree of the President of the Republic of 19 June 1945, No 16 Coll., on the punishment of Nazi criminals, traitors and their helpers, and on extraordinary people's courts, in Slovakia under Regulation No 33 / 1945 Coll. n. SNR on the punishment of fascist criminals, occupants, traitors and collaborators, and the establishment of a people's judiciary, or because an employee had been so serious and justified against himself before 31 December 1945, that it could not be reasonably required to cooperate with them, as it would have been the date of the de facto termination of the law, and even though it could have been abolished under the labour contract only under special conditions or after the special procedure, that it could not be justified that it could not be justified for other employees to be required to cooperate with them, to cooperate with them;
(2) However, if the employment relationship was effectively terminated before the entry into force of this law because it could be assumed in good faith that the conditions laid down in paragraph 1 were given, even though they were not actually given, the employment relationship is regarded as having been legally terminated on the date on which it was actually terminated, even if it could not have been terminated at all or only under special conditions or following specific procedures under the contract of employment. In this case, the salary for the period of notice shall not exceed a maximum of CZK 10,000 per month but not more than three months; In addition, the employee has to make a count of what he has saved by not doing the job, as well as what he has earned by another job or what he has deliberately missed.
(3) Staff members whose employment has ceased pursuant to paragraph 1 or 2 shall not be entitled to the performance agreed upon in the event of termination of employment.
(4) If the employment relationship resulting from the consequences of the national revolution before the entry into force of this Act was effectively terminated in any way without the conditions referred to in paragraph 1 or 2 being imposed, or if, for reasons referred to in paragraph 1, or for similar reasons related to the national revolution, it was otherwise affected (for example, by a holiday, by assigning work on other work, in particular wage or [wage] conditions), the staff member and the employer may request that the arbitration court (§ 2 et seq.) determine the legal consequences of such action. In doing so, the arbitration panel may amend the terms of the contract; If, in the interests of the uninterrupted operation of the plant, the staff member is unable to return to his post, he may, on a proposal from the employer, declare the employment to be terminated in accordance with paragraph 2.
(5) When adjusting the terms of employment referred to in the preceding paragraph, the arbitration panel shall take account in particular of the content of employment contracts of a similar type in other undertakings of the same or related sector and shall determine the rights and obligations of the parties according to the principles of decency and effectiveness. If, under the reorganisation of working conditions, the arbitration panel abolishes an obligation on the employer or declares that the employment relationship has been terminated, it may grant to the staff member adequate compensation, but not more than CZK 30,000.
(6) If the staff member's claims are to be settled in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, he shall not be entitled to any additional claims against a third party from interference in the employment relationship. A payment made by an employer does not give him regression claims against anyone.
§ 2.
The decision on disputes between the employee and the employer arising from interference in the employment relationship referred to in Article 1, in particular whether the employment relationship is cancelled and on which date, the reorganisation of the working conditions and the entitlement of the employee to compensation (compensation), is solely the competent arbitration court.
