Illegal Employment – Changes in Employer’s Registration Duty

Abstract

Illegal work and illegal employment are viewed as a serious problem in labour relationships and could have a rather negative impact on both employers as well as employees. Effective from January 1st, 2018, Act No. 294/2017 Coll., an amendment to the Act No. 82/2005 Coll. on Illegal Work and Illegal Employment and on Amendments and Supplements to Certain Acts as subsequently amended, changes the rules for determining what illegal employment is. This legislative change concerning employer’s duty to register employees in the Social Insurance Agency states that cases when employers fulfil their duty at a later date and without inspection bodies knowing of their failure to fulfil this duty do not amount to illegal employment.
