Compliance - but the right way!

Legally compliant commissioning of freelancers

As a renowned freelancing consultancy, we know how important the legally compliant commissioning of freelancers and work contracts is for both parties. The risks associated with improper implementation should never be underestimated. 

INADEQUATE COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT

Serious consequences for both parties

Improperly structured collaboration between a business company and a freelancer (self-employed individual) can have severe consequences for both parties. If it becomes apparent that the collaboration is formally structured as a supplier relationship but actually constitutes an employment relationship or similar arrangement, all parties involved may face unpleasant penalties.

Potential Sanctions and Fines for Improperly Structured Collaboration

Companies face:

  • Fines up to 10,000,000 CZK, with a minimum of 50,000 CZK.
  • Business activity prohibition for up to two years.
  • Publication of the violation decision on the official bulletin board of the State Labour Inspection Office.

Self-employed individuals (OSVC, freelancers) face:

  • Fines up to 100,000 CZK.

Additionally, back payment of taxes and insurance premiums may be imposed, potentially including late payment penalties. In severe cases, business activity suspension for up to two years and criminal prosecution may be imposed.

The key is to clearly distinguish between employment contracts and supplier agreements, follow regulations for working with self-employed individuals, and document the nature of the collaboration. In unclear situations, it is advisable to consult with experts. Properly structured collaboration protects both parties and enables focus on delivering quality project results.
