§ 81, Act No. 435/2004 Coll., on Employment (Czech Republic)
I am a registered provider of alternative performance (náhradní plnění). Money that a company with more than 25 employees is legally required to spend can pay for the same work you'd order anyway — development, integration, or architectural oversight of your software.
Three paths, one obligation
Czech law sets a mandatory share of employees with disabilities (OZP) that a company must meet. A company that doesn't meet this share with its own employees must fulfil the obligation via one of two other routes — or a combination of them. (This mechanism is specific to the Czech labour market; the Czech legal terminology is kept below for reference.)
Directly employing people with disabilities (OZP) in an employment relationship.
Purchase products or services from a registered supplier who is themselves disabled or employs people with disabilities above the legally required share.
A financial levy to the state for every unfilled disability-employment position — money gone with nothing in return.
Routes 2 and 3 cost a company comparable amounts of money. The difference is what it gets in return — nothing for the levy, an actual delivery for alternative performance. So the question isn't "pay or don't pay", it's "spend it with nothing in return, or on real work".
Where that money usually goes
Why through Atriplex Algorithmics
I work as a self-employed person with a disability and am listed in the national Register of Alternative Performance (Evidence náhradního plnění). The delivery your company draws from me goes directly — no broker's markup, no need to buy products you don't need.
My whole portfolio can be drawn against it: programming work, integrations, development on the ATRUST/ATRA platform, UNISETUP configuration, and architecture assessments and IT oversight. The rates are the same as for any other engagement — no special "alternative performance" markup.
View pricing by complexity of work →Process
We discuss the work you actually need and confirm available capacity for alternative performance for that year.
You get a proposal with a rate from the pricing page and an estimated number of man-days, just like on a regular engagement.
I deliver the work and invoice it as usual — the invoice serves as documentation for both your accountant and the alternative-performance register.
As the supplier, within 30 days of payment I enter the performance details into the Register of Alternative Performance kept by the Ministry — so you have certainty that the delivery actually counts.
Good to know
This summary is for general orientation and doesn't replace legal or tax advice. The specific parameters (limits, rates, deadlines) change every year based on the announced average wage — we'll verify the exact current figures together during the consultation.

Write me how many disability-employment positions you need to cover and by when — we'll discuss which work (development, integration, architectural oversight) makes sense for your company.
