Abstract
The key element in the employee’s employment protection on the part of the legislator, is to ensure legal means which will allow the enforcement of the compliance with employees’ rights. In the dissertation, it was analyzed if there exist penal regulations that protect the employee’s or trade union organization’s right to be informed about the transfer of an employing establishment and its arising consequences for the employees. !e regulations of the labor law do not stipulate any criminal sanctions for the employer if they do not duly fulfill their duty to inform the employee, as specified in paragraph 23 § 3 of the Labor Code. Even so, in this case one can seek how to secure the protection of this law in paragraph 218 § 1a of the Penal Code, which comprises employees’ rights resulting from the employment relation or national insurance. Nevertheless, the conduct of the perpetrator must be characterized by maliciousness or persistence. But, in the case of not informing the trade union organization, the legislator provided for the direct criminalization of such conduct in paragraph 35, Act 1, item 4 of the Act on Trade Unions.
