The Act on the Protection of Whistleblowers was enacted on 14 June 2024 and formally announced on 24 June 2024. It implements the EU directive on whistleblowers (2019/1937). Employers hiring at least 50 individuals as of 1 July or 1 January (or belonging to special categories regardless of headcount) must set up or adjust internal whistleblowing systems, including (i) introducing an internal whistleblowing policy, (ii) consulting on the draft policy with trade unions or employee representatives, (iii) establishing or adjusting reporting channels, (iv) appointing a unit or a person responsible for verifying the reports, and (v) maintaining a register of whistleblower reports – all in line with the new requirements.
