A set of five working files that organise the duties of the Czech Whistleblower Protection Act into open questions a business answers from its own records, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty.

The instrument is Zákon o ochraně oznamovatelů, published as Sbírka zákonů č. 171/2023 Sb. It governs the internal reporting channels and protection arrangements that employers, online sellers, waste producers and other organisations must maintain for people who report wrongdoing. The toolkit is a set of five working files that turn these duties into open questions a business answers from its own records.

The working files walk through the establishment of the reporting channel and the protection of whistleblowers, the reporting duty itself, confidentiality, and the information owed to the whistleblower. Each section carries the statutory text beside the duty it describes, so the business reads the authority's words while answering. The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file.

Which businesses must follow this Act?

The Act reaches employers, online sellers, waste producers and other organisations that engage people who may report wrongdoing. The scope paragraph above names the kinds of business concerned. A business answers the open questions from its own records to establish where it stands.

What does the first working file cover?

It covers the protection of whistleblowers and the establishment of the internal reporting channel. The statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty. The business answers open questions drawn from its own records.

What does the second working file cover?

It covers the reporting duty that falls on the business. The file sets out the open questions a business answers from its own records. Each section carries the statutory text beside the duty it describes.

What does the third working file cover?

How are the sections delivered?

Sections are served through a connector inside Claude. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed. The business opens the connector and works through the open questions from its own records.

What documents come back from the toolkit?

The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. Each report records the answers the business gave from its own records. The business retains the report in its own file.

Does the toolkit tell a business what to do?

The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised. The business reads the statutory text beside each duty and answers the open questions from its own records. The dated compliance report records those answers.

How does the toolkit handle the wording of the law?

The toolkit carries the law's words exactly as the authority wrote them. Each section places the statutory text beside the duty it describes. The business reads the authority's wording while answering the open questions.

What does a business need before starting?

A business needs its own records, because the open questions are answered from them. The toolkit organises the duties of the Act into sections a business works through in Claude. The dated compliance report records the answers given.
