Economic Chamber welcomes stricter fight against illegal employment
Published
The Economic Chamber of the Czech Republic supported a stricter fight against illegal employment. The organisation considers this step important for a fair business environment in the Czech Republic.
At the same time, the chamber rejected what it described as manipulation surrounding the clarification of the definition of dependent work. Dependent work is a basic concept in Czech labour law. It is used to distinguish when a person works as an employee and when as a self-employed entrepreneur, which is why the definition is very important for both companies and workers.
The debate over this definition concerns how precisely to determine who is an employee and who works under a different kind of relationship. The Economic Chamber claims that the topic is being discussed imprecisely and that distorted information is spreading around it. Details of the specific proposals are not given in the statement.
The chamber's position shows that the topic of illegal work and the definition of dependent work remains current in the Czech Republic. Further developments in this area will depend on how the government and other stakeholders respond to the proposals.
