Právní změny pro firmy v roce 2026

A manager doesn't need to know every law by heart. However, they must know in time where a new risk is emerging, who in the company to involve, and which contracts, directives, or internal processes need to be reviewed.

This is precisely what our Update for Managers video series is for. Dita Zbožínková and Alexandra Johnová clearly summarise legal and tax topics that have a direct impact on entrepreneurs, executives, HR departments, and other members of company management.

Four consecutive episodes covering the period from the third quarter of 2025 to the second quarter of 2026 show how broad the management agenda can be. From VAT, contracts, and receivables to labour law, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, all the way to GDPR, employee remuneration, insurance, or the use of cameras in the workplace.

Below you will find an overview of the individual videos and topics that are worth paying attention to in your company.

Update for Managers Q2/2026: wages, accidents, insurance, workplace cameras, and more

Transparent remuneration, workplace accidents, underinsurance, or cameras in the workplace can have significant legal and financial consequences for a company. In the latest episode, we show what executives, managers, and HR should check before a routine operational issue becomes a problem.

In the video, you will learn in particular:

• Transparent remuneration: why you should start preparing for the new information obligations now.

• Workplace accidents and occupational diseases: when an employee may be entitled to a one-off compensation instead of standard severance pay.

• Company insurance: why older insurance limits may not correspond to the current value of assets and actual risks.

• Profit distribution: what to check when approving the financial statements and before the General Meeting's decision.

• Cameras in the workplace: how to protect company property without disproportionately monitoring employees.

Update for Managers Q1/2026: labour law, register of beneficial owners, GDPR, and cybersecurity

Significant legal risk doesn't just arise from a major transaction or a lawsuit. It often hides in routine HR administration, an outdated entry in the register of beneficial owners, or in internal rules that exist on paper but are not used in practice.

In the video, we discuss:

• Termination of employment: what not to forget when issuing and handing over the employment certificate.

• Register of Beneficial Owners: what obligations companies must check and when they might face a fine of up to CZK 500,000.

• GDPR and inspections by the Office for Personal Data Protection (ÚOOÚ): whether the company can document what data it processes, why it needs it, and who has access to it.

• CER and NIS2: how to navigate the individual regulations and determine if they apply to your company.

• Compliance programmes: how to set up rules that can protect the company and its management.

Update for Managers Q4/2025: labour law, cybersecurity, AI, and JMHZ

The year 2026 has brought employers obligations that cannot be left solely to the legal or HR department. Cybersecurity, employee reporting, and the use of artificial intelligence require cooperation between management, HR, IT, and the payroll department.

In the video, we cover these topics:

• The new Act on Cybersecurity: reporting obligations and the risk of penalties reaching up to CZK 250 million.

• Hazardous professions: mandatory employer contribution to retirement savings from 1 January 2026.

• Single Monthly Employer Report (JMHZ): preparing for the extensive transfer of personnel and payroll data.

• Labour Inspectorate checks: the "švarcsystém", disguised employment, and the need to review external collaborations.

• Artificial intelligence in companies: why to introduce internal rules for the tools used, data protection, and output control.

Update for Managers Q3/2025: VAT, debt recovery, contractual penalties, and the divorce amendment

Tax and contractual errors often only become apparent when they cost the company money. This episode therefore shows how to prevent problems with VAT registration, real estate sales, recovery of unpaid invoices, and the preparation of important contracts.

In the video, we explain:

• VAT registration: how the reference period has changed and what entrepreneurs must monitor.

• Sale of real estate: what VAT rules need to be considered before the transaction takes place.

• Debt recovery: how to set up a procedure that protects cash flow and doesn't waste time.

• Contractual documentation: how to correctly work with contractual penalties and preliminary agreements.

• The divorce amendment: what the so-called "agreed divorce" has brought since 2026.

Legal risk often doesn't arise because a company is completely unaware of a new obligation. The problem occurs when the change lacks a specific owner, a deadline, a control mechanism, or corresponding documentation.

Therefore, select the topics that concern your company and verify whether they have already been incorporated into contracts, internal directives, and daily processes. The lawyers at ARROWS will help you assess the impacts of the changes, review your current setup, and prepare practical solutions.
