66 Summary The topic of my work is workplace injury. The goal of this work is comparison of two main approaches to this topic that have been discussed over the past years, namely - the employer`s responsibility versus accidental insurance of employees. The first one mentioned is effective in Czech republic and the second was meant to be effective from 1st January 2008 but it was postponed three times (last time to 1st January 2015) and it is now considered to be canceled. The goal is to understand why and to determine which of the systems better suits the purposes of a workplace injury regulation in Czech Republic. At the beginning I start with a brief historical background (from the year 1989) of the regulation for better understanding of the need for new legislation. Next I am going to achieve the goal of this work by describing the first system by detailed analysis of the effective regulation - explaining terms such as liability, workplace injury, exemptions from liability, types of compensation and also present few a court decisions on the matter. Then I am going to describe the second system by explaining the differences that the accidental insurance of employees act (266/2006 Coll.) would bring if it ever becomes effective. For a more detailed description I would also present the regulation of a...

The theme of my diploma thesis is a comparison of the Czech pension system with pension systems of chosen European Union countries. I focus also on planned changes and a further development in the Czech pension system and in chosen states. For the comparison I chose four states ? the Slovak Republic, Poland, Germany and the Great Britain. I chose the Slovak Republic, Poland and Germany because these are states with the pension systems similar to the Czech Republic. On the contrary I selected the Great Britain because its system is very different. The aim of this thesis was to compare pension systems in chosen European Union countries: the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Poland, Germany and the Great Britain and to map their further development. The thesis was processed theoretically and it is focused only on the pension that secures a man in the retirement age. The introduction outlines a demographic development, which is one of the factors why there are changes in individual systems. Furthermore, in this thesis there are characterized pension systems of the chosen states. There are mentioned conditions for a participation in the pension schemes, types of retirement pensions and conditions for an entitlement to a pension payment. To outline the development of individual systems, I tried, in the second part of the thesis, to briefly describe pension reforms and current changes that occurred. In all countries a necessary condition for an entitlement to pension payments is to pay a social security insurance that is why I compared amounts of the insurances in individual states, which I further took into account in a discussion. I always compared the Czech Republic with the other states in the discussion. I focused on the comparison of the retirement age, years of the insurance required for the entitlement for the retirement pension, current changes and especially an opt-out system in the Czech Republic which is planned for the next year. I tried to compare the conditions that were during the implementation of this system established in other states and which are planned in this country. I believe that the thesis can be used by a professional and lay public for a better orientation in the legislation of pension systems of the chosen states.
