THE STATUS OF PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS BETWEEN SELF-EMPLOYED AND EMPLOYEE STATUS: STATE OF THE ART IN SLOVAKIA AND IN EAST-CENTRAL EUROPE
Abstract
On Dec. 3rd, 2019, decision of the Parliament of Slovakia was taken, aiming to allow sportspersons to freely choose between their status as an employee or a self-employed person. Still, this intention is not properly reflected in the new wording of the Act on Sports, which might lead to further quarrels. The author attempts to show that in fact nothing has changed in the status of players even under the 2019 amendment and if performing dependent work, they are still to be considered employees.
