Work-life balance, undoubtedly, has an impact on various aspects of employees’ lives. A lack of sufficient work-life balance level may, for instance, result in subsequent harm to their physical and mental health. In addition, it might also negatively influence the employees’ work efficiency as well. As a result, work-life balance standards have recently formed one of the crucial parts of the current legislative initiatives within the EU Member States. The Czech Republic, being an integral part of the EU, has already adopted certain work-life balance measures, resulting from the EU legislation. The United Kingdom, on the contrary, exited the EU in the year 2020 and, thus, shall no longer be bound by the EU legislative efforts in this field. Generally speaking, the development of the UK work-life balance legislation (and the English national legislation in particular) is partially based on principles different from the ones applied in the Czech Republic. Therefore, the submitted contribution covers some of the relevant aspects of both of the systems, subsequently compares the attitude towards work-life balance in an EU Member and non-Member State, and comes to a final conclusion, whether and in which particular aspects the English standards might lead an example to the Czech Republic, and possibly also certain other EU Member States.
