Social Security Benefits

Abstract This chapter discusses the Czech social security system from the perspective of migrant workers and their families. The Czech Republic is a central European country whose population is quite homogeneous, so its migration policy is not a very welcoming one. Access to social security benefits for third-country nationals is connected to long-term residence. EU citizens have equal access to social benefits as Czech nationals. The chapter explains basic characteristics of the Czech social protection system (unemployment benefits, health care system, pension insurance, family benefits and social assistance benefits), with a special emphasis on accessibility for migrant workers and their families.

The aim of the paper is to evaluate the state-of-play of social security with a focus on pension insurance in the Czech Republic and this due to the potential use of international agreements with individual countries of the European region. The contracts are divided in terms of whether the state is a part of the European Union, or remains outside that integration. The use of international agreements in the field of social security currently appears to be important for a number of reasons such as tourism, openness of the labour market, economic dependence on international trade and various kinds of migration. The issue is covered by interdisciplinary studies, where the knowledge of the humanities and economic fields mingles. Overall, the work provides a comprehensive overview of international agreements in the territory of the Czech Republic, not only in the period of the capitalism, but also captures the recent history, the period from the 1960s up to now, when the Czech Republic used to be a part of the socialist bloc, At that time most important become agreements and contracts with the former USSR.

Bilateral Agreements

This article describes the findings of a study that investigates the application of posting provisions for the period 1995–20001. The study was requested by the European Commission and follows an earlier study. The aims of this study were to: — find out how European mobility by posting is developing; — identify problems experienced by Member States' administrations, social security institutions, employers and workers when applying the posting provisions; — suggest possible solutions both at Community and at national level; — monitor the development of candidate countries with regard to the posting provisions in bilateral agreements and the preparations for implementing the co-ordination regulations 1408/71 and 574/72. Four Candidate Countries (Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Lithuania) were included in this study. Member States were also asked about the the posting provisions in bilateral agreements with Candidate Countries.

The Impact

Abstract The extent of social security contributions paid by both employers and employees in the Czech Republic is considered one of the biggest problems of the Czech economy. At the same time, the minimum wage in the Czech Republic has been repeatedly changed in recent years and even months, and thus the aim of this paper is to identify and discuss possible consequent changes in managerial decisions in Czech firms that could be examined in further analyses. We suggest the hypothesis that Czech firms are lowering their costs via the substitution of employment agreements for employment contracts in order to avoid social security contributions paid by the employer.
