The Employee Concern Policy of the Zenitech Group, and this schedule, shall be applied both for Zenitech Hungary Kft. (3526 Miskolc, Arany János tér 1. C-D. ép. földszint) and AutSoft Zrt. (1117 Budapest, Gábor Dénes utca 4. Infopark “C” ép.).
Member states of the European Union have their own discretion in how to adopt the Whistleblower Directive (2019/1937), and in some cases to provide additional protection to the procedures pertaining to the investigation of concerns falling under the scope of this Directive.
In line with the above, the Hungarian Parliament has chosen to adapt Act XXV of 2023 on Complaints, Notifications of Public Interest and the Rules for Reporting Abuse (‘Complaints Act’) to provide such additional protections. This deviating provision is adapted with the aim of complying with the Complaints Act.
In case of any discrepancies between the provisions of this Schedule and the Policy, the provisions of the Schedule shall apply in Hungary.
Accordingly, the definitions and references in this Schedule are:
The Form to raise a concern in Hungary (for both Zenitech Hungary Kft. and AutSoft Zrt) may be requested from the below address.
