As an employee, you are entitled to have your wage claims settled by the relevant regional branch of the Labour Office, if:
- the employer has been placed under a moratorium by the insolvency court prior to the commencement of insolvency proceedings, or an insolvency petition has been filed against the employer;
- the employee has outstanding wage claims against the employer that arose during the relevant period, i.e. in the month in which the moratorium was declared or an insolvency petition was filed, in the 3 calendar months preceding that month, or in the 3 calendar months following that month;
- the employee has filed wage claims within the statutory time limit, i.e. no later than 5 months and 15 calendar days from the date of publication of the information about the employer and the time limit within which its employees may file their outstanding wage claims with the Labour Office. If the moratorium declared before the commencement of insolvency proceedings expired within this period, or the court has decided on the insolvency petition other than by issuing a decision on insolvency, wage claims may be filed no later than on the date of the expiry of the moratorium or on the date of the court decision becoming final;
- the employee meets the other conditions under Act No 118/2000 Coll. for the granting of wage claims.

When to address the service
Back to topYou can use the service if your employer is insolvent and the deadline for exercising wage claims is running.
The employee will initiate the wage claim settlement service by submitting a wage claim settlement application. This application may be submitted from the day after a moratorium has been declared on the employer prior to the commencement of insolvency proceedings or from the day after the date on which an insolvency petition is filed against the employer.
Wage claims may be filed no later than 5 months and 15 calendar days following the date of declaration of a moratorium or the commencement of insolvency proceedings on the Integrated Portal of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.
In the event that the moratorium declared before the commencement of insolvency proceedings has expired within this period or the court has decided on the insolvency petition other than by issuing a decision on insolvency, the wage claims may be filed on the date of the expiry of the moratorium or on the date of the court decision becoming final.
