Miory Regional Executive Committee

1. Once again on the salary that does not exist

Another appeal for assistance from individuals deceived by an employer who promised adequate remuneration for work performed "off the books", yet "forgot" about this commitment, compels us to repeatedly emphasize: "By accepting an 'envelope' salary, you yourself (voluntarily!) subject yourselves to a situation lacking established rules and deprive yourselves of protection, whether social or financial." Your verbal arrangements are unlikely to serve as a substantial argument when asserting your rights to compensation for your work.

We strongly recommend opting for official employment relations: this ensures peace of mind for you and is "pleasant" for the budget.

We would also like to remind employers that if a supervisory authority establishes facts of payments made from funds excluded from taxation, the personal income tax shall be paid not by the income recipient, but by you directly, at a rate of 26% (instead of the standard rate of 13%).

Live wisely! Work honestly!

3. About the Rating Portal
