The company Karton.sk is one of the leading Slovak producers in the field of cardboard packaging. A wide range and quality of products are the very criteria that often decide on saving money when dealing with packaging material supplies.

A product of a sheltered workshop is a product that has been predominantly created by the activities of a sheltered workshop or has been significantly altered in form, purpose, or function.

By purchasing packaging material from our company, you can save overall operating costs, you are giving work to people in Slovakia and you are also giving work to people with reduced working ability.

We provide 100% substitute settlement on all products we manufacture and sell.

Substitute settlement and its advantages.

If your company does not employ a sufficient number of people with reduced working ability, by contracting a sheltered workshop you do not have to pay the levy for non-compliance with the compulsory proportion of employment of people with disabilities!

What, then, is a substitute settlement?

It is essentially the award of a contract for the purpose of fulfilling the mandatory proportion of employment of people with disabilities. Private companies, the state administration, and local government, all those who employ at least 20 employees, thus fulfilling their legal obligation under Act No 5/2004 Coll. on Employment Services, as amended, and must employ 3.2% of disabled people out of the total average number of employees, may use the substitute settlement.

This is calculated as 3.2% of the total number of employees, the figure is rounded off mathematically. For example, if you have 90 employees x 3.2% = 2.88, you should be employing 2.88, i.e., 3 employees with disabilities, but you are employing one. So, either you pay a levy for 2 employees or you use the substitute settlement.

For each employee so missing, the company must pay a levy to the state and the authorities impose a fine on the employer, entity, or organization for violating the regulations and obligations under the Act.

Compensation cannot be applied retrospectively, but only in the calendar year of application, so we would recommend using our services throughout the year. A receipt is always issued at the beginning of a new calendar year for the previous year of use of sheltered workshop services.

The amount of the fee for not employing people with reduced working ability and the amount of the compensation is changed annually, as they are based on the average wage in the national economy for the previous period.

The amount to be paid as a fee for the non-employment of a person with reduced working ability is 1 423€ (you will pay to the state until 30.3.2023 for the year 2022), this amount is for 1 missing employee with a disability.

Therefore, contract our sheltered workshop for €1,265 and save €1,423 for each person with a disability that you do not compulsorily employ in your company. What’s more, you will get products or services that you can actually use, compared to the more expensive state levy, which brings you nothing.
