Informační a evidenční povinnost zaměstnavatele po 1. 7. 2024

Employers have, among other things, an information and record-keeping obligation in relation to the employment of foreigners. This is a statutory obligation to report a set of data on foreigners to the locally competent branch of the Labour Office and also to record and report any changes to this data in a timely manner (usually within 10 days).

The employer is obliged to notify, no later than on the day of commencement of employment, and subsequently also record and report any changes to the following information concerning foreigners:

a) identification data of foreigners,

b) address in the country of permanent residence and address for delivery of mail,

c) travel document number and name of the issuing authority,

d) type of work, place of work and period for which the employment is to be performed,

e) gender of these persons,

f) classification according to the sectoral (industry) classification of economic activities,

g) highest level of education attained,

h) education required for the performance of the profession,

i) the period for which they were issued a work permit, employee card, intra-corporate transfer card or blue card and for which they were granted residence, and

j) the date of commencement and date of termination of work or posting of the foreign national to the territory of the Czech Republic.

From 1 July 2024, the information obligation can be fulfilled only electronically, namely:

by sending an XML file report from the employer’s data box to the data box of the Labour Office
by sending a report via a web form
by sending a report via direct integration with the MPSV interface (based on the GovTalk standard).

However, further changes in the fulfilment of these obligations are expected in the future, particularly with regard to the discussed unified monthly reporting by employers.
