Dohoda — this is an agreement for work outside of a standard employment contract in Slovakia. It is used for temporary, seasonal, or part-time work when a full employment contract is not needed.
Main types of dohoda
- DoVP (dohoda o vykonaní práce) — for a single task, with an annual hour limit from one employer.
- DoPČ (dohoda o pracovnej činnosti) — for regular work with a limited average number of hours per week.
- DoBPŠ — only for students (brigádnická práca študentov).
The agreement must be in writing. A dohoda usually offers less protection than an employment contract: often there is no paid vacation or the same protection when you are dismissed. It is a trade-off between flexibility and guarantees.
