Summer and temporary jobs: what about the contract

During the summer there are plenty of summer jobs and interesting earnings available. Is it possible to negotiate a contract for such a relationship? How does it work and what are the pitfalls?

Temporary employment on the FTE

Previously, a work performance agreement could only be used to perform a one-off task. If it was a regular or long-term job, it was stated that a work performance agreement could not be negotiated. However, this is no longer the case. Now you can also negotiate a performance agreement if you perform the same activity for your employer repeatedly – for example, guiding visitors around a castle or chateau. The only restriction is that you cannot work more than 300 hours per calendar year for one employer under this type of agreement. After that, another type of contract must be negotiated – for example, an employment agreement.

If you are paid up to 10,000, you do not pay health and social security

The biggest advantage of a work performance agreement is that if you earn less than CZK 10,000 per month, you will only pay withholding tax and will not have to pay health or social security.

Working hours depend on agreement

If you don’t agree anything else in the work agreement, it will always be up to both parties to agree when you work and when you take time off (only some restrictions apply, for example on the length of working hours). However, if you agree to a clause whereby you agree to come to work, for example, every weekday, then this arrangement will of course apply.

Pitfalls: early termination of the agreement

The law also does not specify how the agreement can be terminated early. Particularly if you “commit” your employer in the contract to work for a certain period of time or to a certain extent, it would be a good idea to agree on a procedure in case you or the employer later decide to go your own way. For example, agree that your agreement to carry out the work can be terminated with a notice period you specify, even without giving a reason. If the method of termination is not agreed, it can be terminated by giving 15 days’ notice.

Negotiate remuneration as part of the agreement

You should not forget about your remuneration arrangements. It is in your interest that the amount of the remuneration is set out in the agreement so that you do not have any unpleasant surprises later. Minimum wage rules also apply to performance agreements: your employer must not pay you less than CZK 73.20 per hour.

My grandparents wanted to give me an apartment, but I was extremely busy at the time and couldn’t afford to put any time into finding out what I needed to do. I also had no idea how to get the transfer of ownership handled at the Land Registry. Dostupný advokát arranged everything for me, and (zobrazit více) the apartment transfer was legally arranged with no issues. Thank you and thumbs up!

I contacted Dostupný advokát because I needed help with a non-payer. Dostupný advokát gave me advice on how to proceed. The dispute became a court issue, where I was represented by Dostupný advokát. I won the court case and I can fully recommend their service.

Seriously, what could be better than that? While it sounds ‘too good to be true,’ I’m happy to report that the staff at DA are pros, and what’s more they are honestly dedicated to their awesome mission, which is to make quality legal services affordable for the average person. I find their prices very fair when compared to what I’ve usually paid for similar services, which means I (and my family and friends) can get the legal help I need without worrying about some black hole of never-ending fees. In my own experience with DA I’ve found everyone there very responsive, and emails and calls are answered in a timely manner. Their large staff also gives me confidence that any legal needs I have can be handled professionally, as there’s always someone with experience in my particular issue. Their head attorney also writes a regular blog and keeps up with all the latest legal trends, which means they as a business stay up-to-date. As someone who’s spent a fortune over the years on legal assistance, or tried to “go it alone” when I couldn’t afford legal help, I wish Dostupny Advokat had been around a long time ago. I highly encourage anyone who needs legal help to TRY THEM FIRST!
