The contribution describes the actual changes of Social Insurance Act No. 461/2003 Coll. as alteredand amended which is effective from 1 January relating to the status of persons who carry out work under agreemanets on work performed outside employment relationship. These changes: 1. they have resulted in, that the work under agreemanets on work performed outside employment relationship has become less attractive (new obligation to pay contributions for employees and employers and increasing the administrative burden for employers); 2. They ensure increase of finance to basic social insurance funds controlled by the Social Insurance Agency; 3. They enhance the social protection for policyholders by fulfillment of the conditions of sickness benefit and unemployment benefit entitlement, in the case of entitlement to pension benefit these changes increase social protection only for certain policyholders; 4. in many cases the changes make worse the status of policyholders by amount of their pension benefit and unemployment benefit. We consider that the increase contributory obligation (contribution payment) should be compensated in any case by more social protection for policyholders, what in many cases will not happen. These legal changes even sometimes reduce the social protection of policyholders.
