The authorized employee to receive notifications through the external notification system is Szilvia Kondracsin (szilvia.kondracsin@foster24.com , phone: + 420 778 778 229). With the consent of the notifier, an audio recording of the notification given by telephone or in person may be taken; without the notifier's consent, a recording of the notification will not take place. The whistleblower has the opportunity to comment on the audio recording or transcription. You will be notified of the receipt of the notification within 7 days of receipt of the notification.
Notification can also be given orally - by phone or in person after making an appointment with the relevant person. The notifier is free to choose which system to submit the notification.
The notification is assessed from the point of view of its reasonableness, and if it is judged to be reasonable, the relevant person will propose measures to the obliged entity to prevent or correct the illegal situation. If the notification is submitted to the relevant person of the obliged entity for which the notifier does not perform work or other similar activity, the relevant person proposes corrective measures to the person for whom the notifier performs work or other similar activity, unless the nature of the matter precludes this. If the obliged entity does not take the measures proposed by the relevant person, it will take other appropriate measures to prevent or correct the illegal situation; this does not apply if it is a measure proposed to a person other than the obliged entity that designated this relevant person. The obliged entity shall immediately notify the relevant person of the adopted measure, who shall notify the notifier in writing without undue delay. The notifier will be notified of the outcome of the assessment within 30 days of receipt of the notification, and in factually or legally complex cases, this period can be extended up to twice by another 30 days.
The authorized employee may not provide data from the notification to a third party who is not also designated as an authorized person, with the exception of the transfer of information to the relevant public authority in accordance with other legal regulations. The whistleblower is always informed in advance about such a procedure.
Reports submitted anonymously are not covered by the Whistleblower Protection Act, unless the identity of the initially anonymous reporter is revealed or it is a report received from a person whose identity is known to the relevant person.
Given the circumstances and information available to him at the time of the notification, the notifier should have sufficient reasons to believe that the facts reported or published by him are true. It is therefore not possible to report knowingly false facts. Such behavior may be sanctioned.
When obtaining documents documenting the reported facts, the whistleblower should not engage in conduct that could have the nature of a criminal offense.
The whistleblower should have specific reasons for believing that the illegal conduct reported by him falls under the protection of the Act on the Protection of Whistleblowers. Supplementing the notification with credible or verifiable information or documents about the reported illegal act can positively affect the method and outcome of the investigation of the notification.
