How fast can someone start?

Once we have the candidate's details and a signed agreement, a typical first hire is live and compliant in about 10 working days — there's no entity registration to wait on.

Can you also find the candidate?

Yes. Recruitment is our core business — we've employed 10,500+ people since 2020. We can source, vet and hire the right person for you, or simply onboard someone you've already chosen.

What about non-EU workers?

We handle work and residence permits and relocation for non-EU nationals end to end. It's what we do at scale across the region, so you can employ talent from outside the EU fully compliantly.

Who manages day-to-day?

You do. You direct the work, goals and team exactly as you would with your own staff. We carry every employer obligation in the background — contract, payroll, tax, benefits, HR and compliance.

One monthly fee per employee covers the compliant employment contract, payroll and payslips, all taxes and social contributions, statutory employer costs, benefits and leave administration, onboarding/offboarding, and a dedicated local HR contact. Optional recruitment and work-permit support can be added.

All employee and candidate data is handled in line with GDPR. Contracts, payroll records and personal documents are processed and stored securely by our in-house team — never in an anonymous ticket queue.

Hiring in Czechia

What it costs and takes to employ in Czechia

Czechia gives you access to deep, EU-integrated talent pools — with the highest statutory employer burden of our three markets. Here's what shapes the real cost and timeline of a Czech hire in 2026.

Employer contribution

33.8% on gross

Social security 24.8% plus health insurance 9% on the employer side — budget for this on top of gross pay when you model a Czech salary.

Minimum wage (2026)

22,400 CZK/mo

The statutory monthly minimum; guaranteed-wage tiers raise the floor for more demanding roles. Salaries and our monthly fee are billed in CZK.

Non-EU workers

Employee Card

Non-EU hires use the Employee Card, which combines work and residence in one permit; EU/EEA nationals work freely. We manage the process end to end.

Time to a live hire

~10 working days

From a signed agreement to a compliant contract, run in-house by our local Czech team — no entity registration to wait on.

Standard terms follow the Czech Labour Code, including statutory paid leave and notice periods, with contracts drafted in Czech and English and every payroll, tax and contribution return filed for you.

Czechia's higher contribution rate makes accurate budgeting essential — request a country quote and we'll model the full employer cost for a specific gross salary before you commit.
