author
Persons with disabilities who are self-employed, as well as employers who employ persons with disabilities, can obtain a number of incentives provided by the Institute for Expertise, Professional Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities.

Employment incentives include the following measures:
salary subsidy
- co-financing of education costs
- co-financing the costs of adapting the workplace
- co-financing the costs of adjustment of working conditions
- compensation in the amount of the paid contribution for compulsory health insurance
- co-financing of professional support costs
- special funds for the development of new technologies and business processes in order to employ and maintain the employment of persons with disabilities
- support for the sustainability of self-employment of persons with disabilities


Quota of the obligation to employ persons with disabilities
All employers who employ a minimum of 20 workers are bound by a quota, i.e. a certain number of employment of persons with disabilities.
The number of persons with disabilities employed in a company amounts to three percent of the total number of employees, and employers can fulfill the quota in a substitute way:

- accepting students with developmental disabilities or students with disabilities for practice
- by admitting a rehabilitator to practice as part of professional rehabilitation
- by concluding a contract to perform student work with a student with a disability
- accepting persons with disabilities for professional training for work without establishing an employment relationship
- by concluding a contract on business cooperation with a disabled person who is self-employed
- by concluding contracts on business cooperation with protective and integrative workshops, as well as with trading companies, cooperatives and associations where more than half of the workers are people with disabilities
- by providing scholarships for the regular education of persons with disabilities.
If the employer does not fulfill the quota in either of these two ways, he is obliged to pay compensation in the amount of 30% of the minimum wage, every month, for each person with a disability that the employer was obliged to employ.
