Legal Solutions for Visa and Labor Law Obligations in a Company
ARROWS Law Firm provided legal advice to a client on establishing procedures for employing foreign workers in the Czech Republic, including visa and reporting requirements. The key objective was to eliminate the risk of illegal employment and penalties from regulatory authorities. Thanks to the chosen strategy, the client established processes that comply with current legal requirements and would stand up to scrutiny during an inspection.
ARROWS analyzed the client’s current practices regarding the employment of foreign nationals, focusing particularly on the correct classification of individual employees in terms of residency status (employee card, Blue Card, etc.), compliance with reporting obligations to government authorities, and the maintenance of related documentation. The project identified risk areas, primarily inadequate procedures for reporting new hires and inconsistent practices regarding changes in job classification, which could have led to very high penalties or the classification of work as illegal.

Based on these findings, a strategy was chosen to completely overhaul the process for employing foreign nationals, rather than merely making partial corrections to the documentation. This approach was the most suitable because it allowed for the elimination of systemic risks and ensured the long-term sustainability of the entire model.
ARROWS subsequently prepared internal procedures for the recruitment and employment of foreign nationals for the client, standardized documentation, established the correct communication protocol with authorities, and defined responsibilities within the company. The solution also included practical training for the responsible personnel to ensure that the individual steps were actually followed in practice. The result was a fully functional framework for the hiring of foreign workers, which minimizes the risk of penalties and allows the client to safely expand its team with foreign specialists.
