Applying for a Work Permit and Visa for Employment Purposes
A 3rd-Country National without a Residence Permit needs to have a Work Permit and a Visa for Employment Purposes in order to get a job. If the company already has provided an employment contract we can apply on behalf of the company for a Work Permit and help the employee with all the paperwork on his side. This for example includes having all diplomas and certificates officially translated.The entire process at the Labor Office takes about 6 weeks, and after receiving the Work Permit, we can apply for / renew a Visa with as purpose of stay employment. If the Applicant is obliged to apply in his home country (usually the case for non-Western 3rd Countries), the Visa Application process may take another 3-4 months (!)
Important: if you do not have an employment contract we can not help you with a work permit.

Contract Negotiation: Employee vs Trade License (Živnostenský List)
Many times there is the choice between a job as employee or working as freelancer on a trade license (the person does not need a Work Permit and there are financial benefits, but also some risks).Alexio can take look at the offer, terms and conditions and calculate what is most beneficial for the employer and the employee, and -if applicable - register a živnostenský list or set up an s.r.o.
Monthly Payroll Services for Companies
Any company that will have employees will need monthly payroll administration and register each employee at labor office / tax / social / health (see below). Alexio takes care of this entire process for the company, so this is completely outsources and no worry of the company owner.Payroll services for each Employee is 450 CZK/ month
Registration at Labor office, Social office and Health Insurance
Alexio registers (foreign) employees at the labor office, social office and health insurance, so that the employing company doesn't have to do this. Unlike other countries, the process is needlessly complex, even for czech employees, and the penalties for wrong / incomplete employee registrations quite high.It is not uncommon for the social office to check companies every 2 years or so. If they discover something, this usually results in having to pay penalties and possibly even withdrawal of visas for people who work illegally.
If, however, Alexio checks the company in an early stage, discovers mistakes and 'voluntarily' announces at the social office that mistakes have been detected and we are willing to fix them, in most cases our customer walks away without a fine (or a much smaller one).

Is it necessary to file an Employee Income Tax Return?
An employee is not obligated to file a tax return for himself, if the company registered him correctly. However, very often employers do not fill in the taxreturn correctly (completely), so the employee misses out on benefits.Also, if an employee worked only part of the year, or has multiple sources of income, or income from outside Czech Republic (there is an obligation for each tax resident to declare the global income) a personal income tax return must be filed, see also
