In my dissertation, I researched disguised employment relationships. In the research part of my dissertation, I was interested in the state's view, in my case it was the labor inspectorate's view, and the trade unions' view of disguised employment relationships. What is their experience with employers, their mutual cooperation, their experience with the court, and what would be possible solutions to reduce the number of hidden employment relationships in the future. In the theoretical part, I defined the employment relationship. Then I defined a disguised employment relationship, where I emphasized the definition of a disguised employment relationship and employee rights. I described the characteristics of contractual relationships and finally focused on the case law in the field of disguised employment relationships, where I focused mainly on labor inspection. In the empirical part I presented the obtained results. My research was qualitative, conducted on a non-random, handy sample. It was attended by two representatives of the union, the labor inspector and the response of the Labor Inspectorate. I have found that disguised employment relationships would be successfully resolved once the state has an interest in settling this. The number of labor inspectors should be increased, as there are currently far too few. Workers would be needed through public announcements, posters, media, etc. raise awareness of their rights and encourage them to join trade unions or other precarious organizations. We have a problem with trade unions that they do not follow the flow of time and do not adapt to the current situation, but the resolution of an individual case depends on the involvement of the trade unionist. Workers are afraid to report a disguised employment relationship because they are intimidated, they are afraid of failure, the costs in court are too high and the resolution of the case itself takes too long. All interviewees point out that proving disguised employment relationships is difficult because too many unnecessary procedures are needed and there are shortcomings in the legislation that need to be addressed.
