Additional details
The Czech Republic’s health insurance system is mandatory; thus, it’s the employer’s responsibility to register their employees not later than the 8th day from the day when the insurance begins.
In cases where a foreign employer does not have a registered office nor place of business, they must assign a representative who is responsible for fulfilling duties related to health insurance regulations.
If an employer fails to provide insurance, they will be held financially responsible for any incurred health expenses. Moreover, they may be subjected to a fine or penalty by the state.
The health insurance fee is divided between the employer and the employee - the employer pays 4.5% of the gross income, while the employee covers 9%.
These procedures and requirements may also apply to self-employed individuals or freelancers, with slight variations in the process. Always verify specific conditions and rules with the related authority or a legal advisor.
