Q: Is it really enough to just tell the employer that I am incapable to work?

Do I no longer have to hand in the sick leave or a note for money? Yes. The employee only has to inform the employer about his/hers incapacity to work.

Q: How does the employer find out about the employee's incapacity to work?

He finds out about this directly from the employee himself, whose temporary incapacity for work occurred. Also through the ČSSZ ePortal. The employer can activate the notification obligation on the ePortal — after that, all the information will be sent automatically to his data box or his e-mail.

Q: How will my sick pay be paid?

The sick pay will be paid in the same way as your employer pays your salary / wages.

Q: How can I apply for a sick pay?

It is no longer necessary to submit a separate application for the sick pay benefits. All the materials will be sent by doctor electronically.

Q: How will my sick pay benefit be paid if I am self-employed, OSVČ?

In this case, the sick pay benefits for self-employed workers are paid in the same way as this person pays his sickness insurance premiums.

Q: The sick leave is only processed electronically. What about other benefits, such as nursing, paternity leave, PPM?

These benefits remain in a paper form.

Rules and recommendations

eNeschopenka is a sick leave (reporting incapacity to work) for the employer and the social security administration, which is issued electronically by a doctor.

The purpose of the eNeschopenka is to simplify the transfer of information, as it connects electronically three different entities — doctors, employers and the Czech Social Security Administration (ČSSZ).

eNeschopenka refers to the temporary incapacity to work. In practice, it means that the employee does not have to carry physical paper documents anywhere — it can be handled online remotely, from home and without the risk of getting infected. The employee will receive a certificate of incapacity to work which can be useful in the case of an inspection of the competent authorities.
