### Inspections of employers

In 2010 CSSA offices carried out a total of 131,628 inspections to check whether employers were fulfilling their obligations; based on these inspections they issued 13,719 payment assessments. Of the more than CZK 95.302 million employers had to pay additionally in insurance contributions, CZK 81.085 million was the amount of unpaid contributions; the remaining CZK 14.217 million was charged in penalties.

CSSA inspectors imposed a total of 589 fines for CZK 2.209 million on the inspected employers for violations of their obligations, mainly for not cooperating in inspections and for failing to fulfil their reporting obligations. They imposed 1,998 corrective measures aimed at eliminating detected shortcomings; 423 of the measures concerned sickness insurance, 250 insurance contributions and 1,325 pension insurance contributions.

Inspections related to social security obligations in 2010 were carried out by 602 CSSA inspectors from all 97 organisational units throughout the Czech Republic. 106,920 employer inspections out of a planned total of 110,297 were carried out, i.e. 96.9%. Only 3,377 inspections were not carried out, mainly because of the employer’s refusal to cooperate. The CSSA inspects all employers in regular two-year or three-year cycles so that any problems are detected in good time and can be corrected before it is too late. In addition, the performance of coordinated inspections in collaboration with the labour offices and the State Work Inspectorate commenced in 2010.
