“It’s finally here!”

Are you wondering what is finally here? How we already informed you in the previous issues of Crowe News, in the past the Senate of Parliament was discussing a bill amending the sickness payment system. From July 1, 2019, the so-called waiting period should be abolished. Employees should therefore receive a sick leave compensation for wages or salaries even during the first three days of temporary sick leave (till now the employees was receiving the compensation from the 4^th day). What does it mean for employers? Primarily increasing costs in the event of an employee's temporary incapacity to work, which is offset by a decrease in the social security premium rate by 0.2 pp from 25% to 24.8%. Are you interested in other consequences, whether positive or negative, of the amendment of the law? Then read our December Crowe news!
