This form is used by the employer to submit a notification of an employee's commencement of employment that established insurance participation, as well as a notification of the termination of employment.

The deadline for submitting the form is 8 days from the date of commencement of employment or the end of the employment period.

The employer is required to submit the form electronically to the electronic address designated by the OSSZ.

If the employee is a foreign national, the Foreign Insurance tab must be filled in under HR in the relevant employee's record:

The information entered here is used in the "Notification of Commencement of Employment (Termination of Employment)" form. These are the details specified in the section "Identification of the Last (Current) Foreign Insurance Carrier".

Foreign insurer name

Name of the last (current) foreign insurance carrier

Foreign insurer specification

Enter the specification according to the form:

Foreign insurer country

Select the relevant country using the arrow from the country list drop-down. This code list can be supplemented by users using the F2 key.

The commencement notification form can be found in the menu under Employees - Print Outputs - Notification of Commencement of Employment:

On the left, select all employees who should be included in the commencement notification and click the Next button:

Next, select whether the form should be auto-populated from the HR menu, whether it relates to a commencement or termination of employment, or whether you want to generate a notification only for commencement or only for termination.

This does not cover changes such as a surname change (e.g., upon marriage) — it applies only to commencement or termination of employment.

The form can be saved in PDF or XML format — ČSSZ only accepts electronic submissions, so it is necessary to generate the form as an XML file and submit it electronically via the CSSZ portal.

To load an XML file, simply select Load form from file on the right:

Then simply select the folder on your computer where the XML file is saved and click Continue:

You can also use this method to verify the accuracy of the generated notification — simply select Validate data from the bottom menu:

If you need to submit a notification for reasons such as a surname change or correction of incorrect data, this reason cannot be selected within Flexi. You can either edit the XML output directly or fill in the form here: Notification of Commencement of Employment (cssz.cz)
