The minimum assessment basis for an employee has not been adjusted for social insurance purposes with effect from January 1, 2010. However, the employer is still obliged under labour law to remunerate the employee in accordance with the provisions of Act on The Minimum Wage.

Voluntarily insured person and their assessment basis

A person who is simultaneously voluntarily sickness insured, voluntarily pension insured and voluntarily unemployment insured shall determine the assessment basis within the legally set limits themselves.

A person who is simultaneously voluntarily sickness insured and voluntarily pension insured shall determine the assessment basis within the legally set limits themselves. A person who is simultaneously voluntarily pension insured and voluntarily unemployment insured shall determine the assessment basis within the legally set limits themselves. A person who is simultaneously voluntarily pension insured or voluntarily unemployment insured shall determine the assessment basis within the legally set limits themselves.

If a person pays insurance premiums for voluntary pension insurance, they shall also be obliged to pay insurance premium to the reserve fund of solidarity.

A person with voluntary sickness insurance, a person with voluntary pension insurance and a person with voluntary unemployment insurance may change the assessment basis no earlier than six months after the last determination of the assessment basis by this person.

Special social insurance premium for municipal/city police officers

Special social insurance premium for municipal/city police officers who are employed by the municipal/city police is paid by their employer, which is the municipality/city with an established municipal/city police force.
