BAŠTÝŘOVÁ, Kristýna
The bachelor thesis focuses on the analysis of sickness benefits and their specifics in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of the thesis is to compare the legal regulation of sickness benefits under normal conditions and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The thesis focuses on analyzing changes in the legislation of sickness insurance in response to the pandemic and assessing the impacts of these changes on employees, employers, and self-employed individuals. It is based on the Act No. 589/1992 Coll., on social security insurance and state policy on employment, Act No. 258/2000 Coll., on the protection of public health, Act No. 187/2006 Coll., on sickness insurance, and several other related laws. In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, additional measures were continuously issued during the relevant period, which are mentioned in the thesis. The thesis exclusively contains a theoretical delineation of the topic, in which the system of sickness insurance is detailed as a key component of the social security system. This system provides financial support to insured individuals in the event of a social occurrence. The significance of sickness insurance has significantly increased in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic, as the pandemic has notably influenced the rise in the number of temporary incapacity to work cases. The pandemic prevented students from attending schools and educational facilities, leading to a large number of parents applying for sickness benefits. The thesis defines the Covid-19 disease itself and outlines the overall development of sickness insurance during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic. In conclusion, the changes to the current legal regulations effective from January 1, 2024, in the area of sickness insurance are summarized. This bachelor's thesis can be utilized as a source of information for social workers or as study material for students in social sciences.

Roubíková, Petra ; Kuklík, Jan (advisor) ; Kindl, Vladimír (referee) ; Rákosník, Jakub (referee)
Social legislation in Czech lands in the years 1918 - 1948 Abstract The dissertation deals with the theme of social legislation in the period of 1918-1948. i.e. during the so called First, Second and Third Czechoslovak republic. However, the foundations of the Czechoslovak laws in this area lays in the period of Austrian laws, especially from the second half of the 19.th century. Development of social legislation was directly conected with the existence of a legal regulation of modern municipal self-government and higher levels of self-government. Two very important acts were adopted in this respect: Act No. 18/1862 The empire's code implemented on 5th March 1862 "The Act on Municipal matters" and on 3rd December 1863 Act. No. 105/1863 The empire's code "The act about Domestic rights". For poor relief the "The Poverty act" (Act No. 59/1868 The provincial code) was enacted on 3rd December 1868. Based on the social policies of "stick and carrot" of Otto von Bismarck in Germany, the Austrian Government enacted series of Acts on health and other types of social insurance systems, which were not universal, but had differences for different types of workers and employees, for example for miners, factory workers or white collars.

Obligations of the employer in sickness and pension insurance
Ježková, Martina ; Lang, Roman (advisor) ; Tomšej, Jakub (referee)
Obligations of the employer in sickness and pension insurance Abstract This thesis deals with the individual obligations of the employer in sickness and pension insurance. Sickness and pension insurance are two of the social insurance subsystems. The state does part of its responsibilities in this area through employers, as they have the easiest access to some information. Of course, the state could obtain information from the employees themselves, but this would represent a huge administrative burden on the state and a great logistical problem in how to actually obtain information from the employees. Obligations that an employer must fulfil may be difficult for a small employer who does not want to hire external companies to fulfil its obligations to the state and it can be almost impossible to fulfil all obligations properly. The most well-known obligations of employers, of which (perhaps) all citizen-employees know, are payments into the sickness and pension insurance system in the form of social security contributions. The employer pays the social security contributions for himself and his employees. However, this is certainly not the only obligation of employers. There are many more of obligations and they are regulated in various pieces of legislation. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to present...
