Švarc system? What is new in this area?
The so called “švarc system” existed, exists and will exist. It is a tool frequently used by many firms which basically represents “hidden employment” whereby the firms save money they would otherwise spend on social security and health insurance contributions. Also, the termination of such relationships is much easier because the Labour Code does not allow employers to end a person’s employment easily.

We will be happy to help you examine whether and to what extent this topic applies to you and how best to respond in a timely manner.  more...
