ABSTRACT
This paper constitutes a continuation of the critical analysis of legal aspects of psychological examinations in some group of
workers. In this part the appeal procedure, documentation, costs of examinations and supervision are discussed. The analysis has
shown many deficiencies in regulations related to all aspects of psychological examinations. They arise from incoherence of legal
regulations and the lack of regulations of some questions. This legal standing is restricted to occupational work and adversely affects
the quality of supplied services. Therefore acts of law and regulations relevant to psychological examinations for the purpose
of fitness-to-work certification need necessary adjustments. According to authors it is desirable to end the legal procedure amending
the act of law on a profession of psychology and the self-government of psychologists, as well as to develop and implement
executive regulations. Med Pr 2018;69(6):673–684
