The obligation arises, when the employer is employing at least 20 persons and the Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family keeps persons with disabilities in its evidence of job seekers in the amount, that represents 3.2% of the total number of employees.
In case of employment of a person with decrease of ability to perform earning activity by more than 70% due to long-term unfavourable health status, employment of such employee counts for this purpose as if employing 3 persons with disabilities.
Placing an order for purpose of obligation fulfillment
