Abstract

The paper deals with selected practical aspects of reconciliation of family and professional life. In this context, it analyses work-life balance, recently re-regulated on the supranational level, as both an interdisciplinary and a multidimensional phenomenon. The main aim is to emphasize its mutual relations manifesting as for flexible working arrangements, constantly a very significant instrument of the EU labour law. For these purposes, the text summarizes legal requirements for job-sharing laid down in the Czech Labour Code, as one of the means in order to reach the indicated balance. Furthermore, it proceeds to focus on the duty to substitute an absent employee. The comparison of relevant regulation with German and Slovak jurisdictions provides with the basis for conclusions concerning substantially differing approaches.
