The Transparent and Predictable Working Conditions Regulations stems out from the Directive (EU) 2019/1152 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on transparent and predictable working conditions in the European Union. This directive aimed to update the already existing Council Directive 91/533/EEC of 14 October 1991 on an employer’s obligation to inform employees of the conditions applicable to the contract or employment relationship in the context of more flexible and modernised labour market catalysed by the digitalisation era.

Through this regulation new set of obligations on behalf of the employer and rights for the employees have been legislated to capture the ever-evolving nature of the world of work. Thus, setting up a framework which guarantees the minimum standard of working conditions in the modern labour market and world of work.

This regulation has already entered into force and its provisions are applicable by 1st August.
