Submission of the pension record sheet to the Czech Social Security Administration

Hlavní informace

The registration sheets are now submitted to the Czech Social Security Administration only in electronic form in the form of a data message via a data box or an electronic address of a filing office. If the employer is unable to submit the record sheet in electronic form for demonstrable objective technical reasons, he/she may do so in writing on a prescribed form by sending it to the address designated by the Czech Social Security Administration; he/she must state the reason for this procedure. This obligation is also fulfilled by handing over the record sheet to the district social security administration in whose district the employer's department where the payroll records are kept is located.

A record sheet will be kept for each person for each calendaryear. The record sheet is kept from 1 January of the calendar year or from the date of the person's participation in the pension insurance if participation occurs after 1 January. It ends on 31 December of the calendar year or on the date of termination of such participation if participation ended before 31 December.

In the case of a person in a service relationship other than a civil servant under the Service Act, or a citizen who has become entitled to a pension from the pension insurance of members of the armed forces, the registration sheet will be submitted to the authorities of the Ministries of Defence, the Interior or Justice, depending on which authority is competent to decide on pension insurance benefits.

The employer will enter the following on the pension record sheet:

• employer identification data,
• name, last name, maiden name, date and place of birth, place of permanent residence and birth number of the citizen,
• type of gainful activity,
• period of participation in a pension insurance scheme
• period of pension insurance,
• the assessment base for social security contributions and state employment policy contributions,
• periods that are excluded when determining the personal assessment base for the calculation of the pension,
• periods which, from the date of attainment of the age required for entitlement to an old-age pension, are not considered as gainful activity for the purposes of increasing the percentage of the old-age pension.

A record sheet will be kept for each person for each calendar year. A new pension record sheet is therefore always kept for each calendar year.

The record sheet is kept from 1 January of the calendar year or from the date of the person's participation in the pension insurance if participation occurred after 1 January. It ends on 31 December of the calendar year or on the date of termination of such participation if participation ended before 31 December.

If the employment ended before 31 December but it is certain that the person will re-enter employment with the same employer within 3 months at the latest in the same calendar year, the record sheet does not have to be submitted and can be continued on the earlier record sheet.

The employer will enter the above data in the pension insurance record sheet for each calendar year after the financial statements, but no later than 30 April of the following calendar year. If participation in pension insurance is ended before 31. December of the calendar year within 1 month after the final income statement, but no later than 31 January of the following calendar year.
