The principle of equal rights for the same obligations is one of the core labour law principles. There is also a prohibition of any discrimination in employment.
The employer is obliged, among other things, to:
- systematically counteract violations of the principle of equal treatment in employment, particularly through preventive measures, the detection of and appropriate response to such violations, as well as remedial actions and support for individuals affected by unequal treatment,
- counteract violations of the employee’s dignity and other personal rights, particularly regarding health, personal life and reputation, appropriate workplace communication, position within the team, work outcomes and performance evaluation, as well as the employee’s professional status and qualifications.
