Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the method and effects of implementing Directive 2019/1158 in the field of work-life balance. The author refers to the most important thematic areas of amendments, i.e. mainly parental rights, and places them in the context of work-life balance and working time. The author indicates the most important problems regarding the implementation of the so-called work-life balance directive in this context. There are still many unsolved issues and most impor-tantly the question of whether all changes were equally necessary. The author also raises the issue of working time as a key element in the interpretation of changes in the labor law system.
