Abstract
This text attempts to focus on the legal framework concerning employment vis-a-vis foreigners as well as the placement of EU employees in the Czech Republic. Other topic shall include the status of foreigners within some Czech social security systems, especially healthcare and the access to it by foreigners.
These aspects will be taken into consideration within the framework of analyses of some key decisions of Czech courts - the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court and the Supreme Administrative Court. I shall illustrate, using the most serious legal issues regarding the access to the Czech labor market and the social system by third-country nationals, how inappropriate legislation can contribute to grey or black economy.
As a result, foreigners are even more vulnerable than they naturally are upon arrival in a new country.
