2 . Labour Offices

The labour office of the Czech Republic (Úøad práce Èeské republiky) has an administrative division into Directorate-General and regional branches. Regional branches have further contact points in various smaller towns and municipalities throughout the country. The labour office carries out various tasks in the following areas: employment, protection of employees in the case of employer insolvency, state social support, benefits for people with disabilities, allowances for care, inspection on the provision of social services, and providing assistance in occasions of material need.

For foreigners, the most important task of a labour office is granting employment permits. When losing a job, it is necessary to register with a labour office and get into their register of job seekers. A labour office can provide a retraining course or you can apply there for certain social benefits.
