The sickness insurance benefits system Abstract This diploma thesis deals with sickness insurance benefits, which create a comprehensive system, whose main goal is to provide social security to economically active people, especially in the case of short term loss of income, due to social incidents, such as sickness, sickness attendance, pregnancy or maternity. This thesis analyses conditions of entitlement of the particular benefits, as well as the calculation of their sum. Due to significant complexity of certain calculations related to sickness insurance benefits, this thesis also contains practical examples. Attention is also paid to some specific areas of sickness insurance, because of their relatively new legislation. The text of the thesis, except for the introduction and conclusion, is divided into four chapters. The first chapter does not deal with the sickness insurance benefits, but rather introduces the concerns of the sickness insurance; outline its development and basic principles.

The impact of legislative changes of law No. 261/2007 statutes, about the stabilization of the public budget for short-term sick leave in Jindřichův Hradec county.
TUČKOVÁ, Iva
I have selected this topic of disability/incapacity for work mainly due to the fact that I have been working in this area already for two years (I am responsible for its registration, processing statistic indicators and other activities related to the disability at work). Selected issue is therefore well known to me as to the contents and I believe that the results of this bachelor thesis will bring benefits for my next project in this area. I describe two main observed aspects in my project during studied period (1st half of 2007 and 1st half of 2008): disability (quantity and duration) and sickness expenses. The main objective of this project was to find out to what extent the implementation of unpaid first three days of sickness has affected the development of incapacity, i.e. quantity of incapacities, their duration, and amount of sickness benefits paid. Two hypotheses have been established: 1)through the effect of the Act on public budget stabilisation, i.e. implementation of busy guard period, the number of sickness leave shall fall, but their duration will be longer, and 2) Act on public budget stabilisation is not going to bring extreme reduction of expenses for sickness benefit payments. For data acquisition, I used a quantitative research which was performed through secondary analysis of data and the study of selected group of employees in small companies. This group has been created by quota selection from the basic population group. Analysis and evaluation of data obtained have shown that the first hypothesis was confirmed, since the number of disabilities has dropped not only in the district, but also within the country, although the mean length of one sickness leave has increased. The second hypothesis was not confirmed. Though the mean length of one disability has extended, 17% of the expenses for sickness benefit payments has been saved. Besides the motivation of physicians, tight and high quality cooperation among practitioners and medical assessment service physicians at district administration bodies, especially in assessing the duration and grounds of sickness leave approval. At present even the employers are engaged in the issues of incapacity for work which should contribute to the decrease of incapacity for work and related used expenses.

Reforms of Sickness Insurance in Chosen EU Countries
Kalivodová, Michaela ; Krebs, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Kučerová, Jaroslava (referee)
This thesis examines the reforms of Sickness Insurance that have been realized in chosen countries of European Union. I've focused myself on Belgium, Netherlands, United Kingdom and Finland and every single reform step that have been taken in between 2003 -- 2005 in these countries. I've investigated how the situation in each country was before the reform came true and explored the main reasons that I believe have led to these reforms. I've also stated which impacts these reforms were supposed to have and after that I've studied the real impacts and consequences that were brought by this change in each country. You can see these in multiple graphs followed by my explanation whether and why I think the reform step was succesful. Judging by the succes that was noted in examinated countries I've decided which path is best to follow as far as the reform in Sickness Insurance is concerned. Thanks to previous examination of reforms that differs from each another I was at the end able to recommned which steps should be taken in Czech Republic since some kind of Sickness Insurance reform is needed as well. I believe comparing foreign Sickness Insurance reforms and my suggestions can help to improve Sickness Insurance system in CR and lead to the solution of various problems Czech Republic hasn't coped with yet.
