THE LAW
of 10 February 2000
amending Act No. 119 / 1992 Coll., on Travel Refunds, as amended
Parliament has decided on this law of the Czech Republic:
Čl. I
Act No. 119 / 1992 Coll., on Travel Refunds, as amended by Act No. 44 / 1994 Coll. and Act No. 125 / 1998 Coll., is amended as follows:
1. Paragraph 12 (1) reads as follows:
"(1) In the case of foreign travel, the staff member shall be responsible for the conditions laid down below in foreign currency. The amount of the foreign currency allowance shall be determined by the employer on the basis of the basic rate laid down for the State in which the staff member spends the most time on the calendar day. ';
2. Paragraph 12 (4) reads as follows:
"(4) The staff member is entitled to a foreign currency allowance equal to the basic rate of the foreign currency allowance, provided that the period of foreign business travel outside the Czech Republic lasts more than 12 hours on a calendar day. If this period lasts 12 hours or less, the staff members in foreign currency shall be responsible for an amount which shall be determined by multiplying by a multiplication of the twelfth of the basic rate of the foreign currency allowance and the number of full hours of the foreign business trip spent outside the Czech Republic. During the period of foreign business travel outside the territory of the Czech Republic, which lasts less than 1 hour, it is not intended to be consumed in foreign currency."
3. In Paragraph 15, the following sentence is added at the end of paragraph 2: "If, during a foreign working trip outside the territory of the Czech Republic, a staff member is not entitled to a foreign currency allowance (Paragraph 12 (4)), this period shall be added to the duration of the business trip in the Czech Republic in accordance with paragraph 1."
4. Paragraph 21 (2) reads as follows:
"(2) The employer shall be obliged to provide an advance payment in foreign currency to the staff member on foreign business trips according to the expected duration and conditions of the foreign business trip. An advance in a foreign currency or part of it may also be provided by the employer, in agreement with the employee, by a travel cheque or by borrowing the employer's credit card. The employer may agree with the staff member to provide an advance payment in foreign currency and in a currency other than that laid down in the Order of the Ministry of Finance (Section 12 (2)) for the relevant State, provided that the Czech National Bank declares on that currency the foreign exchange market rate or the conversion rate. When determining the amount of the allowance in the agreed currency, the crown value of the allowance in the specified currency shall be determined, which shall be converted into the agreed currency. The foreign exchange market rates and conversion rates announced by the Czech National Bank and valid on the date of the determination of the advance amount shall be used to determine the coronation value and the amount of the allowance in the agreed currency."
5. Paragraph 21 (5) reads as follows:
"(5) The amount by which the advance paid on a foreign work trip is higher than that of the employee shall be returned by the employee to the employer in the currency provided to him by the employer or in the currency to which the employee has exchanged that currency abroad or in the Czech currency. The amount by which the advance paid on a foreign business trip was lower than that of the employee, is paid by the employer to the employees always in Czech currency. When issuing the advance, the employer shall use the employee's documented exchange rate to which the currency provided has been converted abroad into another currency and the foreign exchange market rates and conversion rates referred to in paragraph 2. ';
Čl. II
