You’ll finally find a job. Everything looks promising, but instead of a contract, your employer wants to make a deal with you to give you money directly in hand.
You’ll finally find a job. Everything looks promising, but instead of a contract, your employer wants to make a deal with you to give you money directly in hand.
Working under the table is no mean feat and often both the employee and the employer overlook the potential long-term risks.
As an employee, you can be fined up to CZK 100,000 if the labour inspectorate finds out. If the employee tries to avoid this fine and, for example, tries to conceal his or her identity, he or she can be fined up to CZK 200,000 just for that.
However, the employer may be worse off. Although the Constitutional Court has already abolished the lower minimum limit of CZK 250,000, the upper limit still remains CZK 10 million.
In addition to fines imposed by the authorities, more problems can arise.

The most common problem can be employer dishonesty. You will be working without any contract, you will get the money in hand, but it may happen that the pay will be delayed more and more often until it is clear that it will never be paid. In that case, you have no way of recovering your money. The employer is relying on the employee to prove nothing, plus they will be afraid of a fine from the labour inspectorate. It pays to have a signed employment contract.
Another disadvantage is the risk of work-related accidents. The employer should be responsible for the accident insurance of his regular employee. However, if this relationship is not confirmed by contract, the insurance will not cover the injured worker.
If you do not have a proper employment contract, you must pay for your own health insurance. No one is forcing him to contribute to his pension or sick leave. This won’t show up immediately, but it can be very painful if there is any problem.
