According to the amendment, a new institute – a recruitment allowance – is expected to be introduced from January of next year. The contribution will represent 55% of the eligible costs, up to a limit of 275 euros per year.

The obligation to provide employees with this contribution should be limited to companies with more than 49 employees. Only a person who has worked in the company for at least 24 months will be entitled to it. For employers with 49 employees or less, the ability to provide a vacation check will be optional.

According to the petitioners, this measure should support domestic tourism. MEPs argue that in countries where a similar system has been in place for years, such as France, Hungary or Italy, the incidence of the number of domestic tourists is higher.

Ms. Ondrej Dostal (SaS) stated in the debate that discrimination of employers with 50 or more employees would be mandatory for hiring employees, with employers with fewer than 50 employees being volunteers.

"It discriminates against employees, creating an unjustified difference between the two categories of employees, not on the basis of their own merits, on the basis of the length of their employment with the employer, their age, but only on the basis of the fact that they can not influence. "Dostal said stating that this was contrary to the fundamental principles of the Labor Code.

Radovan Balage (SNS) said that several amendments had been made to the law, including representatives of employers and employees, and that the tripartite proposal had also been discussed.

"We have tried to improve the law so that it is not expensive for small and medium-sized businesses.We want to first try with large employers to get this tool," he said. said Balaz.

"We have the ambition to present this institute in time for small and medium-sized companies, while trying to determine how it will work for large companies," added Balaj.

Kiska also talked about dictation

According to President Andrew Kisk, the legal standard discriminates disproportionately against certain employees entitled to a recreation allowance.

According to the President, the approved version of the law contradicts the case-law of the Constitutional Court and the Court of Justice on non-discrimination. The law approved, according to the head of state, created three groups of different employees in terms of entitlement to a holiday pay.

Depending on whether they work in the company for less than two years or more, and that the company employs fewer than 50 people or more.

According to the President, some employees have a guaranteed contribution, some are not entitled to it and some can be obtained at the initiative of the employer.

"Such inequality between employees related to the same right to the recreation allowance does not correspond to any real need, can not be achieved by any legitimate objective of social policy of the state and, given the 39 objective of the contribution, such an adjustment is not necessary, "stressed Kiska.

The distinction between employees solely on the basis of the average number of workers in the undertaking and the duration of the employment relationship can not, in his opinion, give rise to an objective reason for the difference in treatment.

The opposition, employers, contractors and chambers of commerce, but also partly experts, criticized the introduction of a recreational contribution as a non-systemic measure. The reservations mainly related to the compulsory provision of the contribution, they requested that it be voluntary.

Public procurement will be simplified
