Working conditions of agency workers in the Czech Republic
Aoufová, Anisa ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Jelínková, Marie (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the examination of working conditions of agency workers among foreigners in the Czech Republic. The thesis aims to describe the legal setting of agency employment, especially in terms of participants in contractual relations, their rights and obligations. It also identifies ways of circumventing the current legislation by work agencies and describes the consequences of this circumvention on employees. It also deals with how the agency workers themselves perceive their working conditions, concerning the work agency and the company to which they are temporarily assigned. Qualitative research is focused on foreigners in the labor market. Foreigners are a disadvantaged group in the labor market because they often do not know their rights and obligations, which employers can use to their advantage. The issue is viewed from the perspective of flexibility and precarization in the labor market. Flexibility, as one of the new trends in the labor market, brings many opportunities, but it has different effects on different types of employees. While it offers a greater degree of personal freedom for better-off workers, for employees in low-income occupations, flexibility is often associated with a high degree of job insecurity and limited social protection for employees.
