The employer’s obligations:
- to keep a copy of the residence document or other residence authorisation for the duration of the third-country national’s employment
- to notify the Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family in writing when the third-country national starts and ends employment, within seven working days of the start date and within seven working days of the end of employment. When employing a third-country national, the employer must also enclose a copy of the employment contract with this notification.
- , If a third-country national who has been granted a work permit, or who holds temporary residence for employment based on a confirmation that a vacancy may be filled, does not take up the job, the employer must notify the Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family in writing within seven working days of the agreed start date.
- To register the employee with a health insurance company. This follows once the foreign national has registered with the health insurer.
- To register the employee with the Social Insurance Agency, following the same procedure as for Slovak employees.
- To notify the Foreign Police department in writing within three days if the third-country national fails to take up employment, where the employer has issued a written promise of employment.
- To notify the Foreign Police department within three days of the termination of the third-country national’s employment.
In case of an inspection, the employer must also be able to produce the “Additional Employment Details” (i.e. the document issued by the Foreign Police department once residence has been granted to the third-country national).
All of these obligations are also set out in the instructions the foreign national received at the Foreign Police department.
These instructions also include the obligation to submit, within 30 days of collecting the residence card, a medical report confirming that the foreign national does not suffer from any disease that poses a threat to public health.
