Dependent Work Performance of Illegal Migrants and Related Legal

The Czech Republic pays attention to the issue of the rights of foreigners from outside the EU. One example is the regulation of social rights, which the Czech Republic, along with Slovenia, Greece and the Netherlands, has modified as individual rights directly in the Constitution. Above all, it is the implementing legislation, secondary legislation, in the ‘90s which has amended and unified the law for all insured persons irrespective of their different nationalities. The efforts of the Czech Constitutional Court to legalise the employment of foreigners who reside in the Czech Republic illegally should also be given positive evaluation. Inconsistent with this approach is the semi-official effort of the Czech authorities to increase employment in the domestic population at any cost, even through not filling vacant jobs. One reason may be that the Czech Republic (so far) does not have significant social issues with foreigners. But that can change very quickly, as the situation came to pass in 2009, when thousands of migrants lost their jobs. Indeed, the legal predecessors of the Czech Republic already have abundant experience with both.
