Employers who have an annual average of at least 20 jobs per month are legally obliged to employ people with severe disabilities.
If they do not meet the set quota of 5%, they have to pay an equalization levy.

The equalization levy is not a substitute for employing people with severe disabilities. It provides financial compensation for employers who incur additional costs as a result of employing people with severe disabilities. At the same time, it represents an additional incentive for every employer to give severely disabled people a chance in working life, in addition to their social obligation.

The notification is submitted using the IW Elan program. The notification is entered into IW Elan by you as the employer and sent to the employment agency responsible for the location of the company. The Elan software can be used to calculate the mandatory jobs and the equalization levy to be paid.
